The name Treves is not necessarily Troyes in France, it is rather used to refer Trier in Germany is called Treves in French, the whole family is also called Ashkenazi (from Germany). Or the name Treves can also come from the city of Trevise (Treviso) in Italy where Moshe The 1st Treves Baal Hatossafot lived, and where his son Matityahu Ben Treves-Ashkenazi Moshe, HaGadol of Paris was born.
