The last name, Boyd, is Gaelic, and means yellow-haired. It is also of Scottish origin, with the meaning being "from the island of Bute".

This is a family name of mine, so I had fun looking up the origin. Thanks for asking this question!

A lot of people with the surname Boyd are descended from ancestors who lived in Ireland. As another suggests, there could be a Scottish connection as many families travelled back and forth from Western Scotland and the nearby Northern Irish coast.
