Today, with our approaching one year wedding anniversary in mind, I researched our last name, Boyd.
"This interesting surname is of Scottish and Irish origin. The name is very numerous in Ulster and in some cases appears as O'Boyd. This name was from "MacGiolla Buidhe", meaning the yellow-haired youth's son. The modern surname can be found as Boyd, Boyde and Boyda. The Crest is a hand pointing to a sun dial, gold. The first recorded spelling of the family name is shown to be that of Robert de Boyd, which was dated 1205, recorded at Irvine, Scotland, during the reign of King William "The Lion" of Scotland, 1165 - 1214."
