The name Roey is a boy's name of Hebrew, English origin meaning "my shepherd".

Rowan meets Joey in this nickname-y style choice, and it may well be a modern creation, blending the classic nickname for Joseph with the contemporary favorite Ro- sound. However, Roey may have more history than that, even if it did only begin appearing in the US charts in the late 90s.
<br></br>
It could be considered a variation of the Hebrew name, Roi, meaning "my Shepherd", or the identically spelled Galician and Spanish name Roi, a diminutive of Roderigo ("famous ruler"). 
<br></br>
Used exclusively for boys so far, with 11 given the name in a recent year (double the number given in previous years), if viewed as a modern invention, it could easily cross into unisex territory.
