About Roye
Roye is a masculine name with multiple potential origins. It may function as a variant spelling of Roy, which derives from the Old French 'roi' meaning 'king,' ultimately from Latin 'rex.' Alternatively, it could be related to the Irish Gaelic name Rory (meaning 'red king') or exist as a surname-turned-first-name from various European backgrounds. The distinctive spelling with the final 'e' gives the name a slightly softer, more elaborate feel than the more common Roy. While relatively uncommon as a given name in modern usage, Roye offers a simple yet distinctive option with regal undertones and cross-cultural versatility.
Roye is also given to girls.
Pronounced ROY.
As of October 2026, Roye ranked #5308 in US births in 1970 SSA, peaked at #2860 in 1914.
