Etymology

Etymology 1

Inherited from Middle English Lyde, from Old English hlȳda, from hlȳdan (“to make noise”) + -a (agentive suffix), literally “noise-maker”; thus the only Germanic month name to survive in Modern English. Compare loud, and more distantly listen, slave.

Etymology 2

From the German surname, possibly Americanized from Leid.
