Question:

Is the last name Boyd of Irish origination?


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: There may be a branch that originated in Ireland, but it is definately Scottish. George F. Black says it probably may be derived from the name of the island of Bute, which may be true as they lived in NW Ayrshire in and between Largs and Irvine, from 1200 on.
