Origin of last name

TRAYS : 1: variant of Tray with post-medieval -s. 2: for the WR Yorks name see Trees. 3: perhaps from Treix (Haute-Marne) or from one of several places named Trie in Oise (Picardy) but the absence of a preposition in any of the early surname forms makes this an uncertain origin. The place-names derive from Frankish thresk ‘fallow land’.perhaps from Middle English trays treys (Old French trais) denoting either one of a pair of ropes by which a harnessed animal pulls its load or the whole harness of a draught animal or a team of harnessed horses or something pulled by a horse perhaps a sledge.
