Meaning & Story
A variant spelling of Lloyd, from the Welsh word "llwyd" meaning "gray," traditionally referring to someone with gray hair or a dignified silver bearing.
Loyd is a slightly simplified spelling of the Welsh classic Lloyd, keeping all of the dignified, silver-hued character of the original. It has the feel of an old family name — reliable, understated, and quietly distinguished. A dog named Loyd is the kind of dog you can count on: steady in temperament, loyal in character, and always there when you need him. The name has a no-nonsense quality that suits working breeds and old-soul companions alike.
