Kid is English in Origin.
Kid is an English word-name with roots in Middle English kide, from Old Norse kið, meaning "young goat." By early modern English it broadened colloquially to mean "child," giving the name a double sense of youth and playful grit. As a given name it reads as modern, brisk, and gender-neutral, with lively, streetwise overtones.
Use as a formal first name is rare, but Kid has long flourished as a nickname and stage moniker in the ring, on the range, and in music - think Billy the Kid, boxing's many "Kids," and artists like Kid Rock and Kid Cudi - adding a renegade aura. Variant spellings and related forms include Kidd (more common as a Scottish and Northern English surname from the same root) and Kyd (as in playwright Thomas Kyd). No established diminutives; the name stands on its own.
