Fitzroy Family History
Fitzroy Name Meaning
Irish: Anglo-Norman French patronymic from fi(t)z ‘son’ (see Fitz ) + Roy ‘king son of the king’. 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.
