Alroy is a unique and distinctive given name of unknown etymology, believed to have been created by American author L. Frank Baum for use in his popular 'Oz' series. It was first introduced in the 1904 novel 'Dorothy and the Wizard of Oz,' where it is borne by one of the main characters, a young boy from the magical Land of Oz. Alroy's usage as a given name appears to have been inspired by Baum's creation, with its earliest known records dating back to the early 20th century in the United States.
"Alroy experienced its peak popularity in the mid-20th century, with a notable spike between 1953 and 1955, during which there were 24 births each year."
