Oyd is an uncommon given name of Scandinavian origin, particularly found among individuals of Norwegian descent. It is believed to have evolved from the Old Norse personal name Óðr, which was derived from the word óðr meaning "inspiration" or "frenzy." The name Oyd is often associated with the Norse god Odin, who was known for his wisdom and power, suggesting a connection between the name and divine attributes. Despite its historical roots and potential cultural significance, Oyd remains relatively rare today, adding to its distinctive character as a given name.
There were five children named Oyd born in 1926.
