Benroy is English in Origin.

Benroy is a rare modern given name in English, most plausibly a blended form combining Ben - used independently and as a short form of Hebrew-rooted names like Benjamin (“son of the right hand”) and Benedict/Benoit (“blessed”) - with Roy, a longstanding given name from either Old French roi “king” or Scottish Gaelic ruadh “red(-haired).” The compound mirrors patterns seen in Anglophone naming that attach -roy to a first element, creating a familiar yet distinctive sound.

Documented usage is sporadic from the late 20th century onward, primarily in English-speaking contexts, with appeal to parents who like traditional components but want an uncommon whole. Direct variant spellings are rare, though Ben-Roy appears occasionally; related forms include Ben, Benny, Benjamin, Benedict, Benoit; and Roy, Roi, Leroy, Fitzroy. Nicknames may be Ben, Benny, or Roy. Interpreted meanings range from “blessed king” to “son of the king” or “red-haired son,” depending on the roots emphasized.
