Meaning: Manservant; Young man

Ladd is a rather distinctive boy’s name of English origin. Meaning “manservant” or “attendant,” this name is a respelling of a term widely used in the UK and Ireland to refer affectionately to a group of young men. It derives from the Old English word ladde, which was an occupational term for a servant. But, your little Ladd is not beholden to anyone but themselves, and they are sure to make the name their own!
