Troy Name meanings & History
The name Troy means "foot soldier" or "from Troy" in Greek mythology. Originally from a surname that denoted a person from the city of Troyes in France. It is now more likely used in reference to the ancient city of Troy that was besieged by the Greeks in Homer's Iliad. The city's name, from Greek Τροία (Troia), is said to derive from its mythical founder Τρώς (Tros), but is more likely of Luwian or Hittite origin. This name was popularized in the 1960s by the actor Troy Donahue (1936-2001) [1], who took his stage name from that of the ancient city. The name Troy is mostly used in English-speaking countries, but is also used in other parts of the world.
