Roy

Roy is the English, Scottish Gaelic and French name of Norman origin. This family name originated from the Normans, the descendants of Norse Vikings from Denmark, Norway and Iceland. The derivation is from the word rey or roi, meaning king. The Normans brought this surname to England, which in medieval times was used as a nickname either for one who behaved in a regal fashion, or who had earned the title in some contest of skill. It also appears in Scottish Gaelic, from the word ruadh, meaning red.Roy can also be found in India as a variant of the name Rai, which was a historical title of honour in India conferred by the British Raj.
