What does the name Greggory mean?
Greggory is a spelling of Gregory, pronounced the same way, so it shares Gregory's meaning and origin.
Gregory comes from the late Greek name Gregorios, meaning watchful or alert. DMNES derives it from the Greek verb for keeping watch, and Wiktionary traces that to an older verb meaning to awaken. The name spread through the church: DMNES counts fourteen medieval popes called Gregory, along with patriarchs and many saints in the Eastern and Western churches. It is recorded in England from the 12th century and has long been used in the US.
