The name Fludd was the spelling chosen by Sir Thomas' family to represent an English pronunciation of their Welsh name, Lloyd. Another example of "FL" being vocalize for a written Welsh "L" is Llewellyn found sometimes as Flewellyn.
It must have led to some confusing early on with the English. In the British probate records you sometimes find people listed as "Flood/Fudd alias Lloyd" or vice versa.
In biographies on Sir Thomas Fludd's famous son, Robert, there is normally a mention of thier Lloyd origins. Their ancestory is documented in various places.
And in another Welsh Biography, http://yba.llgc.org.uk/en/s-LLOY-EDW-1570.html, there is another person with this spelling:
-- LLOYD (FLOYD, FLOOD, FLOUD, or FLUDD), EDWARD (c. 1570-1648?), of Llwyn-y-maen , near Oswestry , belonged to a group of inter-related families of ancient Welsh lineage in north-eastern Powys who resisted the Reformation.
Hope that is what you're asking.
