Gregg is English in Origin.
A compact double-g spelling, Gregg is an English given name and surname stemming from Greg, the short form of Gregory. Gregory comes via Latin Gregorius from Greek Grēgorios, ultimately from grēgorein ‘to be watchful,’ giving the meaning ‘watchful, vigilant.’ As a surname, Gregg often reflects the medieval personal name or Scottish forms related to Gregor and the MacGregor clan.
Use of Gregg as a standalone first name grew in North America in the mid-20th century, peaking in the 1960s–70s before receding. The wider name family gained enduring favor through many saints and popes named Gregory, especially Gregory the Great, sustaining its presence across medieval Europe and later revivals. Related forms include Greg, Gregory, Gregor, Greig, Grigor/Grigory/Grigori, Grzegorz, Grégoire, Gregorio, and Grigol; the feminine is Gregoria.
