Fitzroy is English in Origin.
Fitzroy is an English given name and surname from Norman French fitz (from Latin filius, "son") + roi ("king"), literally "son of the king." In medieval Anglo-Norman usage, fitz- marked paternal descent; paired with roi it often denoted acknowledged royal offspring, frequently born outside wedlock.
As a surname it attached to British noble lines, notably the dukes of Grafton descended from Charles II; Henry FitzRoy, son of Henry VIII, is a famous bearer. The name entered given-name use in the 18th-19th centuries when aristocratic surnames became fashionable, and it persists across the English-speaking world in small numbers. Variants include Fitzroy and FitzRoy (with or without internal capital), and the occasional hyphenated Fitz-Roy; short forms are Fitz and Roy. Related options with a similar sense include Roy, Leroy, Rex, and King.
