Question: is rory male or female name?
Answer: Rory is the Anglicized form of a Gaelic name that has been spelled various ways (e.g. Ruaidhri, Ruaidri, Ruari). Probably the most notable bearer was the last High King of Ireland, Ruaidri Ua Conchobair. Rory was being used as a boy name in the U.S. long before it first popped up on the SSA's baby name list in 1933.
