Throughout the world, Heywood (Heywood 
, Хейвуд 
, הייווד 
) is a rare boy's given name. The forename Heywood is characteristic of Hong Kong, where it is a rare boy's name, the United States, where it is a very rare masculine name, and the United Kingdom, where it is a very rare largely boy's, but infrequently feminine name. Much more prevalently, Heywood is the last name as well as the forename.
Heywood is also a name for the fictitious and mythical characters: Heywood R. Floyd , the fictional character from Space Odyssey.
