Lloyd
Encyclopedia : L : LL : LLO : Lloyd
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.
