How is the name pronounced? >> Lide...is recorded almost exclusively in sources from the southwest of England. In the late 13th century... The Great Vowel Shift happened later than this, so perhaps it was something like LEED-AH? >> The etymology of ‘Lide’ goes back to the Old English name Hlyda Looking up a pronounciation for Hlyda, I find: hlȳda, m.n: March. (HLUE-dah / ˈhlyː-da) Or was it more like LOOD-AH?
