Holliday

Holliday is a surname, most famously associated with John Henry "Doc" Holliday, the frontier dentist and gunfighter who fought alongside Wyatt Earp at the O.K.

Corral.

The spelling distinguishes it from the common word holiday—though both derive from "holy day," Holliday as a surname preserves an older variant spelling.
