Gregor is Greek, Scottish in Origin.
Gregor is the Central and Northern European form of Gregory, from Greek Gregorios (Latin Gregorius), derived from gregorein “to be watchful, alert.” It therefore means “vigilant,” “wakeful,” or “on the watch.” The form Gregor is standard in German, Slovene, Slovak, and Scots usage, and appears across Central and Eastern Europe.
Usage spread through the prestige of early Christian saints and multiple popes, notably Gregory the Great; medieval records show the name throughout the German-speaking lands and Scotland (cf. Clan Gregor). Notable bearers include the scientist-monk Gregor Mendel and Kafka’s protagonist Gregor Samsa; the name day falls on 12 March in several countries. Variants include Gregory (English), Grégoire (French), Gregorio (Italian/Spanish/Portuguese), Greger (Swedish), Grzegorz (Polish), Grigory/Grigor (Russian/Bulgarian/Armenian), and Grigore (Romanian), with the common short form Greg.
