Grant (name)

Grant can be both a surname and a given name. The name is of Scottish origin (see Clan Grant), and there are several possible origins for the name.^[1]

• One possible origin of the name is from a nickname derived from the Anglo-Norman graund, graunt ("tall", "large").^[1] This in turn was derived from the Old French grand, grant, which was originally derived from the Latin grandis.^[1] This nickname was likely given to a person of remarkable size or merely to distinguish two persons bearing the same name.^[1]
• Another possible origin of the surname is from a medieval personal name ultimately derived from the Old English byname Granta,^[1] which might have meant "snarler".^[2]
• The surname may also be an alternate spelling of the German Grandt or Grand.^[1]
