Floy
Floy Origin and Meaning
Floy is a masculine name with multiple possible origins. It may derive from the Welsh name Floyd (meaning 'grey-haired' or 'grey'), function as a shortened form of Florence, or have roots as a variant of the Old French name Eloi. While historically used for both genders, it has been more commonly associated with men in the United States. Floy experienced modest popularity in the early 20th century but has become increasingly rare. The name has a distinctive, compact sound with its single syllable and unusual vowel combination. Its vintage quality might appeal to parents seeking a simple yet uncommon name with historical roots but a somewhat unconventional feel.
