"Reid"is an element of two Norweigan names: The male being Reidar, whihc means "Home army" or "home warrior" and the female (my name) being Reidun, which means "home loving." Reid means "home." (It's also pronounced "Raid" not "Reed" but this being America, I know it's easier to sometimes just go with the mispronounciation than constantly correct it.) I have NO idea if Reid would ever be used as a Scandinavian surname.
