History and Origin
Grant can be both a surname and a given name. The name is of English origin, 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".
- The surname may also be an alternate spelling of the German Grandt or Grand.
Scottish and English: from the Scottish surname, the name of a famous clan, which is nevertheless probably derived from a Norman nickname meaning ‘large’ (Anglo-Norman grand). In America the name is sometimes bestowed in honour of the Civil War general and 18th president, Ulysses S. Grant (1822–85).
