Roy or Rai or Ray is gifted title that is same as everywhere else in India. But, generally speaking, Roy lastnames are used by higher castes like Brahmins or Kayasthas in Bengal, they are being mostly from ruling communities in Bengal. But, you may also find Roy is used by people from lower caste like Namah-Sudra that belongs to so-called Scheduled Caste. In Bangladesh, you may even find Muslims bearing Roy lastnames. I have seen even converted Christian (or Anglo-Indian) using the same title. In general, you can expect a very higher percentage of people having Roy lastname belongs to Brahmin or Kayastha community, then probably few from SC, lastly Muslim or Christians using this title will be very rare occurance.
