Biography
Rui is a Portuguese male given name (sometimes spelled Ruy), a Japanese unisex name, and a Chinese unisex name component (sometimes spelled Ruei or Jui).
In Portuguese, it is not proven that “Ruy” originated as a diminutive of “Rodrigo”, as the transformation does not follow a simple diminutive pattern as with other names in the Iberian Peninsula. The name “Ruy” (or “Rui” in modern Portuguese) has been historically documented since the 12th century and was used independently of “Rodrigo”.
