What Does the Name Laroi Mean?
Laroi is a short form of Kamilaroi, the English name of an Aboriginal Australian people whose own name for themselves is Gamilaraay. The personal name works as a reference to that people rather than as a translated word, and the literal meaning of the ethnonym itself is not securely documented, so the meaning is usually given as uncertain. The form Laroi appears to drop the opening syllable of Kamilaroi; Gamilaraay is the source of the various English spellings, which also include Kamilroi, Kamalarai, and Gomeroi.
Laroi Name History & Origins
The Kamilaroi (Gamilaraay) are an Aboriginal Australian people whose traditional country takes in the Liverpool Plains and the valleys of the Namoi and Gwydir rivers in what is now northern New South Wales, reaching north into southern Queensland. Their language is also called Gamilaraay. European settlement of that region began in the 1830s, and nineteenth-century records rendered the group's name in several ways, among them Kamilaroi and Kamilroi, before the people's own spelling, Gamilaraay, came into wider use.
Laroi appears as a personal name in Australia, where it keeps the link to the Kamilaroi people. A prominent modern bearer is the Australian rapper known as Kid Laroi (born Charlton Howard), who has spoken about his Kamilaroi ancestry; his stage name has made the short form familiar to listeners well beyond Australia.
