The baby name Lourd is a Unisex name , 1 syllables long and is pronounced /lɔrd/ (approx. 'lord'),Filipino: /lurd/ (approx. 'lurd').

Lourd is in Origin.

A clipped form of Lourdes, Lourd appears in Spanish- and Filipino naming traditions and occasionally in Francophone contexts. Lourdes is the pilgrimage town in the French Pyrenees where Marian apparitions were reported in 1858; as a given name it spread across the Catholic world to honor Our Lady of Lourdes. Lourd thus carries the devotional sense "from Lourdes/Our Lady of Lourdes," while in French it coincides with the adjective lourd "heavy, weighty," sometimes giving it a grounded, serious undertone. Usage is rare in English-speaking countries but seen in the Philippines for boys as well as girls.

Variants and related forms include Lourdes, Lorde, Lourde, Lord, and the diminutives Lou, Lulú, and Luli (the latter two used for Lourdes). Pronunciations vary: LOORD in English and Tagalog; in French, roughly "loor" with a silent d. The name reads modern and minimalist while retaining a strong Catholic heritage.
