Name Root:
hlafweard > LAVERD
Meaning:*
A Laird is a member of the gentry. The Scots and Northern English dialectal variant Laird has been recorded in writing since the 13th-century, as a surname, and in its modern context since the middle of the 15th-century. It is derived from the Northern Middle English laverd, itself derived from the Old English word “hlafweard,” meaning “warden of loaves.” However, Lord and Lady have since become words primarily associated with the dignity of peers in Scotland, so the term “Laird” has taken on a separate meaning.
