Leofgyð

Other spellings include Leuid, Leuiede, Leviet and Leofith. Leofgyð has possibly been confused for the male name Leofgeat in the Domesday book. There is also the potential for confusion between the feminine second elements gyð and gifu and hence between the feminine names Leofgyth and Leofgifu. An example of this can be found in the Domesday entries which render Leofgifu 'Luith' and 'Leveve'. It is therefore possible that some instances discussed elsewhere under the names Leofgeat or Leofgifu should in fact be referred to Leofgyth.
