According to a map on the GENS website which shows the distribution of this surname, it is best represented in the Piedmont region. Tron has a history in Piedmont as well as in Venice. So if we treat it as a Piemontese surname, consider that the word Tron means (meant?) "thunder" in the Piemontese dialect. A nickname for a noisy or an ill-tempersd person?
