Dalroy is Scottish in Origin.

Dalroy is a rare Scottish name rooted in toponymy, often explained from the Scottish Gaelic elements dail “meadow, haugh” and ruadh “red,” giving the sense “red meadow” or “russet field.” It shares its form with the place-name Dalroy near Croy in Inverness-shire and appears first as a local surname before occasional use as a first name.

As a given name, it appears sporadically from the late 19th century in Scotland and later in Canada, helped by Scottish migration and the Alberta hamlet named Dalroy. Some modern users read it as Dale + Roy; others connect it to Delroy, though Delroy comes from French de le roi, “of the king,” and is unrelated. Variant spellings and related forms include Dallroy (surname), Dalroi (rare), and the element Roy; nicknames Dal or Roy. The name carries earthy Highland imagery and a sturdy sound.
