Naming the Baby

Pie, I like my Indian co-workers' names, Rajeev and Sudatta. Rajeev seems like it would be one of those classical names, from the root "raj" which means "rule", or all the way from the Latin "roi", meaning "king".

I'm thinking that the English/American name "Roy" comes from the same place.
