Grant (name)

• One possible origin of the name is from a nickname derived from the Anglo-Norman graund, graunt. 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".
• The surname is also associated with the surname MacGranny in Ireland.
• The surname may also be an alternate spelling of the German Grandt or Grand.
