Grant (name)

Grant (name)

Grant can be both a surname and a given name. The name is of English and Scottish origin (see Clan Grant), and there are several possible origins for the name.

*One possible origin of the name is from a nickname derived from the Anglo-Norman "graund", "graunt" ("tall", "large"). This in turn was derived from the Old French "grand", "grant", which was originally derived from the Latin "grandis". This nickname was likely given to a person of remarkable size or merely to distinguish two persons bearing the same name.
*Another possible origin of the surname is from a medieval personal name ultimately derived from the Old English byname "Granta", which might have meant "snarler". [http://www.ancestry.com/facts/Grantham-name-meaning.ashx Grantham Name Meaning and Origin] Retrieved on 2007-12-06]
