Meaning and history
Lady is an English feminine name taken from the title and common noun for a woman of rank or courteous address. The word comes from Old English hlæfdige, literally connected with “loaf” and “kneader,” originally denoting a household’s female head. As a personal name it is a modern title name rather than an inherited ancient given name. Notable bearers are uncommon because Lady more often appears as a title or stage element than a legal given name.
