What is the meaning of the name Izid ?

Izid is Greek in Origin.

Izid is a concise modern form of Izidor/Isidore, ultimately from Greek Isidoros, “gift of Isis” (Egyptian goddess Isis + doron “gift”). Via Latin Isidorus, the name spread across the Roman and Christian world. In many Slavic and Central European languages, Izidor gained currency; Izid appears as a clipped, contemporary variant or nickname, sometimes adopted as a standalone given name.

Medieval popularity owed to saints bearing the name, notably Isidore of Seville, a Doctor of the Church, and Isidore the Farmer, patron of Madrid; this heritage supports its periodic revivals. Variants and cognates include Isidore/Isadore (English), Isidor (German/Scandinavian), Isidoro (Italian/Spanish), Isidro (Spanish/Portuguese), Ysidro (archaic Spanish), Izidor (Slavic), and Izydor (Polish). Diminutives and short forms: Izzy, Izy, Sid, Sido, Izi. Name day traditions vary; common dates include April 4 (St. Isidore of Seville) and May 15 (St. Isidore the Farmer).
