Lloyd
Boy name · 493 babies recorded · 1974–2025
Lloyd: 493 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to boys, peaking at 30 births in 2010.
A strong, surname-style name of Welsh origin, Lloyd derives from the word *llwyd*, meaning "grey" or "brown"—often referring to hair colour or a holy person's grey habit. Its most famous bearer is the Welsh actor Lloyd George, the early 20th-century British Prime Minister, though the name is also shared by composer Andrew Lloyd Webber. The Lloyd family name has deep roots in Wales and the Borders, lending a classic, landowning feel. Notable variants include Floyd, the anglicised form common in England, while the name appears as a given name in Scotland from the 19th century onward, often chosen for its crisp, two-syllable dignity.
