Decoy, quiet, or modest
Koy is a rare name with multiple potential roots. It is often considered a variation of the English word 'decoy' or the surname McCoy, but it can also be linked to the Dutch word 'kooi', meaning an enclosure or cage used for catching wildfowl. In a modern context, it is sometimes chosen for its phonetic similarity to names like Kai or Coy.
