What is the meaning of the name Gregoire ?

The baby name Gregoire is a Male name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced /ɡʁe.ɡwaʁ/ (French); anglicized: GREH‑GWAHR.

Gregoire is French in Origin.

Gregoire is the French form of Gregory, ultimately from the Greek name Gregorios, derived from the verb gregorein "to be watchful, vigilant." It passed into Latin as Gregorius and then Old French, yielding the modern Grégoire; in English contexts the accent is often omitted.

The name spread across the Christian world via early Church Fathers and popes, especially Pope Gregory the Great, anchoring its medieval use in France and sustaining steady popularity in Belgium, Switzerland, and Quebec, with a late-20th-century revival in France. International variants include Gregory (English), Gregor (German/Scots), Gregorio (Italian/Spanish/Portuguese), Grigor/Grigori/Grigoriy (Armenian/Slavic), Grzegorz (Polish), Gergely (Hungarian), and Grigol (Georgian). Short forms include Greg, Grégo, and Russian Grisha; rare feminines are Gregoria or Grégoria. The core meaning emphasizes vigilance and alertness, giving Gregoire both monastic gravitas and modern simplicity.
