A Yad is the Hebrew word for hand. The long pointer used when reading the Torah to keep track of the place is called a Yad. The expression Yad Vashem(lit. hand and name) means memorial. The monumental work by Maimonides codifying all of Jewish law is called the Yad Hachzakah - the Strong Hand, and is divided into 14 books. (Yad has the gematria of 14, and their are 14 finger bones on each hand). The works is referred to as the Yad or the Rambam.
