Ray (surname) Ray is an English, Scottish Gaelic, and French name of Norman origin. This family name originated from the Normans, the descendants of Norse Vikings from Denmark, Norway and Iceland who later migrated to Normandy.[1][2] This surname comes from the Old French word rey or roi, meaning "king". It also derived from the same source of the surname Roy. Occasionally this was used as a personal name. The Normans brought this surname to England, which in medieval times was used as a nickname either for one who behaved in a regal fashion, or who had earned the title in some contest of skill.[3]
