What is the meaning of the name Lords ?

Lords is English in Origin.

Lords is a rare English given name and surname taken from the plural noun and honorific title lord, ultimately from Old English hlāford (hlāf “loaf” + weard “guardian”), meaning steward, protector, or one in authority. As a word-name it evokes nobility and leadership; for some, it also carries religious resonance from the English epithet “the Lord,” though the name itself is secular in use.

As a personal name, Lords appears sporadically in modern English-speaking records, fitting the contemporary trend of title and virtue names (King, Royal, Majesty). Usage is unisex but uncommon, and it is far more familiar as a family name. Close variants include Lord (singular) and the stylized Lorde; Lordson is an occasional elaboration. Note that Lourdes, a popular Spanish/French Marian name, is only a sound-alike and not etymologically related.
