Can I have a definition? None of my dictionaries can even find that word. Possibly you spelt it wrong?

Searched through 389 search engines (Copernic) and got no results for it - lots of partial word matches, but nothing exact.

I'm stumped.

In what context was the word used? Did you see it written down, or spoken?

I think it's a family name, and he wants to know the history of it. Google apparently doesn't even have one hit, so I'm stumped.

My guess:

Metchroy means King of the Land.

From the root metch, meaning land/country in the Flaidish language and roy, meaning king.

Flaidish: http://www.zompist.com/flaidish.htm
Metch: http://www.zompist.com/flaidlex.htm

Unfortunately, Flaidish seems to be some made up alien language of the made up alien Flaidish people.
