# Troy (given name)

Troy is a male given first name used in English-speaking countries, and may derive from the Irish Troightheach, meaning "foot soldier". Additionally Troy is utilised as an anglicised surname derived from a variety of Gaelic and Norman surnames. Further detail here Troy (surname).
Alternately, especially as a modern given name for boys, the name may be of Classical Greek inspiration—derived from the ancient city of Troy (Ancient Greek: Τροία, romanized: Troía), site of the legendary Trojan War described in the Epic Cycle of Ancient Greece, most famously in Homer's epic poems the Iliad and the Odyssey.
