Meaning & origin
Croy is an exceptionally rare name in American records. It first appeared in Social Security data in 1980, but has never ranked among the top 1000 names for any year. Its peak usage came in 2018, though with a negligible number of births. Since 2018, the name has been falling in popularity. Croy has no recorded usage in any U.S. state’s top names, underscoring its extremely uncommon status. The name’s origins are unclear; it may be a modern coinage or a surname transferred to first-name use. Parents drawn to short, crisp, one-syllable names may appreciate Croy, but should be aware it is a true rarity with little historical or etymological documentation.
Croy appears to be a modern coinage, possibly derived from surnames or place names such as Croy in Scotland or the French Croy. It has been used infrequently as a given name in the United States since the 1980s, though it remains very rare.
