Thinking about the name
Hyde
English origin
“An Old English surname meaning 'hide' (a measure of land), Hyde has literary resonance through Robert Louis Stevenson's 'The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde.' The name carries an enigmatic, dual quality—simultaneously suggesting both hiding/concealment and the wild natural world—making it a choice for parents drawn to literary and slightly mysterious aesthetics.”
