Leroy's heyday was in the early twentieth century, when it was in the US Top 100 until 1949. As a result, it's now more frequently seen as a father or grandfather name. Nevertheless, it remains in the latter end of the US Top 1000, perhaps passed down from father to son, or similar enough to popular Levi that it still appeals.

It comes from the French nickname <em>le roi</em> meaning "the king", which might also explain its continued use, considering the popularity of Kingsley, Rex, Saint, and similar.
