Derory is English in Origin.

Derory is a modern, seldom-seen given name in English, most plausibly formed by prefixing Rory with de-, conveying a surname-like or patronymic sense, essentially of Rory lineage. Rory itself comes from Irish Ruairí/Ruaidhrí, composed of rua meaning red and rí meaning king, so Derory typically carries the sense red king or descendant of Rory. Some also hear it as a smooth blend of Derry and Rory, though this interpretation is secondary and stylistic rather than historical.

As a given name Derory has little attested use before the late 20th century and remains rare in registries, appearing mainly in English-speaking countries. It functions as a unisex choice, with Rory, Deo, or Dero as informal nicknames. Spelling variants include DeRory, Derori, Derorey, and Derorry; related names are Rory, Ruairí, Ruaidhrí, and Derry. Its contemporary, surname-flavored construction appeals to parents seeking a distinctive twist on a familiar Gaelic favorite.
