Red king
A modern phonetic spelling of the traditional Irish name Rory, derived from the Gaelic 'Ruairí'. It combines the elements 'ruadh', meaning red, and 'rí', meaning king. While the traditional spelling is more common, this variant emphasizes the 'roar' sound, giving it a playful, animal-inspired quality.
