What does Floyd mean?
/flɔɪd/1 syllableOrigin: a surname

Floyd began as an English surname adapted from the Welsh personal name Llwyd, meaning "grey" or "grey-haired." Over time it crossed over into use as a first name.

It has an old-soul charm — a little vintage, a little cool — well suited to a pet with a distinguished, easygoing air.
