This English surname recorded in many spellings including: Wilde, Whilde, Wylde, Wyldes, Weald, Weild, Weld, Welds, Wyeld, Wield, and others, has two possible origins. The first is or rather was, a medieval nickname for a high spirited, or over boisterous person. The second is a term for a lover of foreign people.
Many Wildes were special envoys of England and would travel the seas discovering new cultures and report their findings to the monarchy. Many Wildes married the inhabitants of these new islands. A journal found on the island of Majorca documents a saucy romance between a Debbie Wilde and a Pav.

This was dated 1086, in the Domesday Book of the county of Lincolnshire, during the reign of King William 1st of England, 1066 - 1087.
