Meaning & origin
Lloyde first appeared in U.S. birth records in 1916, reaching its peak usage in 1919. Since then the name has been rare, with no available rank or one-in-N incidence for recent years. Its trajectory has been stable, never experiencing a revival. As a spelling variant of the well-established Welsh name Lloyd, Lloyde carries the same meaning of 'grey' or 'grey-haired,' a reference that may have originally described a person's hair color or their perceived wisdom. While no top states are recorded for its use, the name remains a distinctive choice with deep Welsh roots.
Derived from the Welsh adjective llwyd, meaning 'grey' or 'grey-haired' as applied to a person. In Welsh tradition the word also carried connotations of holiness or a religious dedication. Lloyde is a spelling variant of the more common Lloyd, which itself arose as a surname in Wales before being adopted as a given name.
