Etymology

Loy is a family or personal name with a few simple roots in Europe. In England it is sometimes like the name Lowe, which comes from an old word for 'hill', and in Ireland it may come from a Gaelic family name, so Loy today is used as a surname or given name that traces back to these old sources.
