Ruairidh

Ruairidh is a name that holds special meaning for Highland Scots, the Irish, and such diasporas. This name is of Irish origin and is made special by two factors. 
This name is made of two root words 'ruadh' and 'righ'. When translated, 'ruadh' means 'red' or 'copper' and 'righ' means 'king'. Hence, the meaning of Ruairidh is 'red king', 'a king with red or copper colored hair' or 'famous king'. 
It is common for people to name their child Ruairidh if they are born with copper or red colored hair. Since having red-colored hair results from a rare genetic condition, people often love to celebrate their uniqueness by having a name such as Ruairidh. Additionally, the power and aura that the name 'Ruairidh' exudes are unmatched. Parents often name their children Ruairidh with the trust that they would grow up to become very powerful and famous. 
Another factor why people name their children Ruairidh is that a variation of this name was shared by the last high king of Ireland. This name is thus also a reminder of 12th century Ireland - which may be important to people coming from such communities!
