Lloyd is an English male given name, derived from the Old English word 'hlēod', meaning loud. It gained popularity during the Victorian era and has been used steadily since then. The name Lloyd is often associated with Wales due to its Welsh form, Llywd, but it is of Anglo-Saxon origin. Some famous individuals named Lloyd include American actors such as Humphrey Lloyd, better known as Hal Holbrook, and Christopher Lloyd, best known for his roles in the "Back to the Future" trilogy. The name Lloyd also appears in literature, with notable characters like Lloyd George in E.M. Forster's "A Room with a View".
"Between 1917 and the present day, there have been five babies named Lloyd."
