About Troy
Troy shot to popularity as a first name in tandem with that of 1960s heartthrob Troy (born Merle) Donahue; its image has now, thanks in part to the Brad Pitt-starring epic, Troy, receded back to conjuring up the ancient site of the Trojan wars. A handful of baby girls also receive the name each year, down from a peak of 119 births in 1961.
Pronounced TROY.
As of October 2026, Troy ranked #12089 in US births in 2023 SSA, peaked at #995 in 1961.
