English variation of Leroy

Elroye Origin and Meaning

The name Elroye is a boy's name.

Elroye is an uncommon masculine name with uncertain etymology. It may be a variant spelling of Elroy, which combines the Old English elements 'el' (noble, other) and 'roi' (from French, meaning 'king'). Another possible origin is as an elaboration of the name Roy with the prefix 'El,' which could suggest 'the king' or connect to the Hebrew element 'El' meaning 'God.' Elroye has remained exceptionally rare in usage, appealing to parents seeking a distinctive name with noble connotations. The unusual spelling with the final 'e' adds a touch of uniqueness to this already uncommon name, potentially giving it a more antique or elaborate quality.
