Meaning:*
This name derives from the Ancient Greek “Grēgórios ‎(Γρηγόριος),” which in turn derives from “grígora ‎(γρήγορα) grḗgoros ‎(γρήγορος)” meaning “watchful, alert, cautious, awake, quickly, quick, fast, swift, brisk.” The name enjoyed wide popularity among the early Christians, thanks to the devotion to the saints, monks, and popes who brought it. It remained popular throughout Christendom through the Middle Ages and into modern times. A notable exception is the United Kingdom, where it began to be used only after the Norman Conquest, becoming common there and Scotland around the twelfth century. There have been 16 popes with the name, starting with Pope Gregory I (Gregory the Great). It is the second-most popular name for a pope, along with Benedict, after John. Because of this background, it is also a popular name for saints.
