| Background: 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. First found in Montgomeryshire. Variations: Lloyd, Llwyd, Lloid, Loyd, Loid, Lwyd. More Info: http://heraldry.celticradio.net/search.php?id=110 Discussion of this family is welcomed. |
