Boyde is a unique and distinctive given name of English origin. It is derived from an Old English personal name, 'Buðe', which was used in early medieval England. The name Boyde is believed to have been brought to England by the Anglo-Saxons who invaded Britain in the mid-5th century. Over time, the name evolved and became associated with various noble families in England, making it a name with a rich history and heritage.
Boyde appears to have been a moderately popular name for girls during the first half of the twentieth century, with notable spikes in popularity around the 1920s and again in the 1930s. However, it seems that its usage was not consistently high throughout these decades, as there are periods where fewer than five babies were given this name each year.
