Loyd is a unique and historical given name of English origin. It is an anglicized form of the Old Norse name Leifr, which was brought to England by Viking settlers during the Middle Ages. The name Loyd originally meant 'heir' or 'descendant,' derived from the Old Norse word 'leifr.' Over time, the name evolved and became more commonly associated with English-speaking cultures. Today, Loyd is a distinctive and less common choice for parents looking to give their child a memorable name with a rich history.
The name Loyd had a peak popularity during the late 1920s with 12 births recorded in 1928.
