Thinking about the name
Rory
Irish origin
“Derived from the Irish Ruaidhrí, meaning 'red king' or 'red-haired ruler,' Rory has been a royal name throughout Irish history. The name combines strength with a bright, energetic quality; the 'red' element historically signified power and vigor in Celtic cultures. Rory has evolved into a modern classic that works equally well for any gender.”
