[ 1 syll. coy, co-y ] The boy name Coy is pronounced as KOY †. Coy is primarily used in the English language and its language of origin is Gaelic. The name is of uncertain origin, but it is unlikely to be from the English word, which is feminine. It is most likely from McCoy, which is from McKay meaning 'son of Aodh'. Another possible derivation is the transferred use of the surname Coy. The name Coye is a form of the name. See also the related form, the English, Irish, and Scottish Mackey. Coy is uncommon as a baby boy name. At the modest height of its usage in 1910, 0.033% of baby boys were given the name Coy. It had a ranking of #299 then. The baby name has fallen out of favor since then, and is now of irregular use. Within all boy names in its family, Coy was nonetheless the most popular in 2008. Baby names that sound like Coy include the name Coye, the Choctaw Koi, the English Cace, the Scandinavian and Welsh Cai, the Scandinavian Caj, the name Cars, the English and Irish Case, the Latin and English Cash, the English Cass, the Welsh Caw, the German Cay, the English Cayce, the English Cayse, the name Chi, the English Correy, the name Cos, the name Coz, the English Cus, the Hawaiian Aukai, and the English Kace.
