The fitzroy Surname
fitzroy Name Meaning and History
Irish: Anglo-Norman French patronymic from fi(t)z ‘son’ +
Roy in one or other of its senses. It is usually taken to imply
that the original bearer was a bastard son of the king, though ‘son of
Ruadh’ (a Gaelic nickname meaning ‘red’) is also a possible
interpretation.
