Roye is classified as unisex in SSA records: the opposite-sex variant accounts for 43 additional births since 1910.

Decade-level aggregation shows that Roye performed strongest in the 1920s, accumulating 46 births during that ten-year window. Across the 6 decades of recorded activity, Roye shows a clear decline from its mid-century high.

No etymological entry is currently available for Roye in our reference dataset. These figures derive from SSA's annual national and state-level name files, which include any name appearing at least five times in a given year or state-year; names below that threshold are suppressed for privacy and therefore excluded from the totals shown here. The 162 total represents a lower bound — actual usage may be higher in years or states where the count fell below the disclosure floor.
