📖 À propos Roy
Roy porte la noblesse de plusieurs cultures. En vieux français, "roi" signifie roi; dans la tradition gaélique, il évoque les cheveux roux — comme le légendaire Rob Roy. Dans les contextes ibériques, Roy est une forme de Rui ou Rodrigo, signifiant "souverain célèbre." Cette polyvalence culturelle lui a valu une grande popularité au XXe siècle. Moins courant aujourd'hui, il conserve un caractère robuste et intemporel.
