In the Archie Comics, his last name was Smith, not Brown.
In 2012, Trevor "Trev" Smith was introduced in Archie #631, "Another Love Song". Because at the time Archie was dating Valerie, both Betty and Veronica were immediately attracted by the newcomer but eventually, Trev ended up having a budding romance with Betty similarly to how Betty and Trev flirted in the TV series.
