📖 Sobre Roy
Roy carrega a força da realeza em várias culturas. Em francês antigo, "roi" significa rei; na tradição gaélica, evoca os cabelos ruivos — como o lendário Rob Roy. No contexto ibérico, Roy é uma forma de Rui ou Rodrigo, significando "governante famoso." Essa versatilidade cultural conferiu ao nome grande popularidade no século XX. Hoje menos frequente, mantém um charme robusto e atemporal.
