The last name Nyd is of Swedish origin. It is derived from the Old Norse word "nyð," which means "need" or "requirement." In medieval Scandinavia, individuals were often assigned surnames based on their occupation or personal characteristics, and Nyd may have been given to someone who had a role related to fulfilling the needs or requirements of a community. Over time, this surname would have been passed down from generation to generation, becoming established as a family name.
