About the Hide Surname

A coat of arms belongs to a particular family line rather than to everyone named Hide, so the heraldry linked to Hyde is a starting point, not an automatic right.

Meaning of the name

Ancestors listed as Hide are often found as Hyde a generation earlier. Taken at its root, Hide points to “A hide of land”.

Hide writes “i” in place of the “y” found in Hyde, a typical scribal difference. From 1891 to 2000, 143 births in France were registered under Hide. There were 8 such births in the 1890s and 9 in the 1990s.
