History and Origin
Troy is a male given first name used in English-speaking countries and derives from the Irish Gaelic Troightheach, meaning "foot soldier". Troy is also an informal form of the female name Gertrude (often shortened to Trude) in Dutch.
English: probably originally a transferred use of the surname, which is derived from Troyes in France. Nowadays, however, the given name is principally associated with the ancient city of Troy in Asia Minor, whose fate has been a central topic in epic poetry from Homer onwards. The story tells how Troy was sacked by the Greeks after a siege of ten years; according to classical legend, a few Trojan survivors got away to found Rome (and, according to medieval legend, another group founded Britain).
