Lloyd Origin and Meaning
The name Lloyd is a girl's name meaning "gray".
Originally, this Welsh surname was used as a nickname for someone with gray hair but in the early 20th century, it shifted into a familiar given name. Now, for boys, it might feel a bit too grandpa, but for a girl, it might make a clunky-cool choice in the middle spot.
