Grant Name Meaning and Origin
Grant is a masculine given name and surname of Anglo-French origin. Derived from the Old French word grand or graund, meaning “great” or “tall,” the name conveys a sense of largeness or grandeur. It was introduced to England following the Norman Conquest and became both a first name and a family name. As a given name, Grant gained popularity in English-speaking countries, particularly in the United States, due in part to historical figures such as Ulysses S. Grant, the 18th President of the United States. The name embodies strength, stature, and significance.
