Meaning & origin
Greggory, a variant spelling of Gregory, peaked in popularity in 1963 but has been declining in use since 1989. The name first appeared in U.S. records in 1940 and has shown a falling trajectory, now used only rarely. Its core meaning of "watchful" connects it to a long tradition of the name Gregory, historically borne by saints and popes.
Greggory is a spelling variant of Gregory, derived from the Latin name Gregorius, which itself comes from the Greek Gregorios, meaning "watchful" or "vigilant." The name was borne by several early Christian saints and popes, and became common in England after the Norman Conquest. The doubled 'g' spelling emerged in the 20th century as a distinctive variation.
