Lloyd (given name)

Lloyd (given name)

The name Lloyd is a variation of the Welsh word "llwyd" or "clwyd", which means "grey" or "brown" ("Llwyd" is also used as a personal name). The double-L represents the voiceless alveolar lateral fricative of Welsh, and was sometimes also represented as "fl", yielding the related name "Floyd".
