Boy
Troy
Troy is a boy's name meaning "Named for the ancient city of Troy", drawing on Greek roots. It is not as common as it was in the 1960s, though it has not disappeared. Today, it is a well-known pick in the registry. It has appeared in U.S. birth records in nearly every decade since 1900, a genuinely long run.
