Roie is a modern, streamlined given name whose strongest anchor is Hebrew. It reflects Roee/Ro’i (רועי), from ro’eh “shepherd” plus the suffix -i “my,” yielding the tender sense “my shepherd,” familiar from the Psalm 23 phrase Adonai Ro’i. In contemporary Israel it is chiefly masculine, though sometimes unisex, and it rose sharply in the late 20th century with continued steady use.

Cross-linguistically, Roie also overlaps with Roi: in French roi means “king”; in Galician and medieval Spanish, Roi/Ruy abbreviates Rodrigo; in Scottish usage, Roy traces to Gaelic ruadh “red-haired.” Related variants include Roee, Ro’i, Roey, Roi, Roy, Ruy, and Rodrigo in the extended lineage. Depending on pathway, Roie can carry meanings ranging from “my shepherd” to “king” or “red-haired,” with usage outside Israel uncommon but stylish.
