Roi is a masculine given name of Hebrew origin, meaning "my shepherd." The name is derived from the Hebrew word roʿi (רוֹעִי), a combination of the noun roʿeh (shepherd) and the first-person singular possessive suffix, thus expressing a personal relationship of care and guidance. This meaning links to the biblical depiction of God as a shepherd (e.g., Psalm 23:1, “The Lord is my shepherd”), making the name resonate with themes of divine protection and providence.Cultural and Religious ContextIn Jewish tradition, the image of the shepherd is central to biblical imagery, with figures like Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and David all described as shepherds. The name Roi has been used among Hebrew-speaking communities to reflect this spiritual heritage. While less common than names like David or Joshua, Roi offers a distinctive option that draws directly on pastoral metaphors found in the Psalms and the prophetic books.UsageRoi is primarily used as a given name in modern Israel, both among secular and religious Jewish families. It is occasionally also found in the Hebrew diaspora. The name is typically transliterated as Roi in English contexts, keeping its two-syllable pronunciation.Meaning: "My shepherd"Origin: HebrewType:given name (masculine)Usage regions: Israel, Jewish diaspora
