Roy is an English, Scottish Gaelic and French name of Norman origin. This family name originated from the Normans, meaning "Northman" in several Scandinavian languages,〔(【引用サイトリンク】 publisher=Online Etymology Dictionary )〕 who were descendants of Norse Vikings from Denmark, Norway and Iceland.〔 which cited: for the surname "Roy".〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Norman )〕 The derivation is from the word ''rey'' or ''roi'', meaning "king", and in medieval times was used as a nickname either for one who behaved in a regal fashion, or who had earned the title in some contest of skill. It also appears in Scottish Gaelic, from the word ''ruadh'', meaning ''red''. Roy can also be found in India, a variant of the name "Rai", which was a historical title of honour in India conferred by the British Raj.〔Oxford English Dictionary, 2nd edition, 1989: from Skr. ''rāj'': to reign, rule; cognate with L. ''rēx'', ''rēg-is'', OIr. ''rī'', ''rīg'' king (see RICH).〕〔Oxford English Dictionary, 3rd edition (June 2008), on-line edition (September 2011): "spec.
