Boiy Surname Meaning
From Where Does The Surname Originate? meaning and history
Probably from Mac Giolla Buidhe, 'Giolla-bhuide’s Son, or 'The Yellow-haired Youth’s Son.' (See note on giolla, under Mylroi).

MacGilla Buidhe, in Ireland, is corrupted into MacGilla Boy, and then into McAvoy, McEvoy, Mac- Boyd, and Boyd, though McAvoy and McEvoy are, strictly speaking, contractions of MacAedha Buidhe, 'Aedh, the Yellow’s Son, ’ where buidhe is a mere nickname.
It is not such a common name now as formerly.
