Meaning & Origin
A surname.
Loyd is a boy's and girl's baby name of Welsh origin, an alternate spelling of Lloyd, from the Welsh llwyd meaning 'grey' or 'grey-haired.' Lloyd has been used as both a Welsh given name and a popular English surname, and was particularly common in the United States during the early twentieth century.
Grounded and vintage, Loyd carries the honest simplicity of mid-century American names — a one-syllable name worn by farmers and senators alike, always comfortable in its own skin.
