Floyd

Floyd is a name with a strong, straightforward presence and roots in Welsh tradition, derived from the word 'llwyd', meaning 'gray'. It gained popularity in the early 20th century and was fairly common for a time. The name carries a rugged, no-nonsense appeal, often associated with personalities who are dependable and grounded. Notable bearers include Pink Floyd, the iconic rock band, which has given the name a bit of artistic edge in popular culture. While Floyd is less common now, it holds a classic charm that some parents find appealing. It has few nicknames, except perhaps the playful 'Floydie' in some friendly circles.
