The king
Elroy is a name of debated origin, most commonly cited as an English variation of the French 'Le Roi' meaning 'the king'. It emerged in the 19th century and gained moderate popularity in the early 20th century before becoming a rare choice today. Its association with mid-century Americana gives it a distinct retro-futuristic appeal.
