troye

Troye is a masculine given name. It is a variant spelling of Troy, a name that ultimately derives from the ancient city of Troy in present-day Turkey. The form Troye has appeared in English-language usage primarily in the modern era and is most often encountered as a first name; it is less commonly found as a surname.

Pronounced the same as Troy in most cases, Troye is typically chosen for personal or stylistic reasons, including family connections or a preference for the distinctive spelling. The name is most common in English-speaking countries, and it has been adopted in Australia, North America, and parts of Europe as part of broader naming trends toward traditional or place-based names.

Notable people with the name include Troye Sivan (born 1995), an Australian singer, songwriter, and actor who first gained an online following before achieving mainstream success with albums such as Blue Neighborhood and Bloom.
