Variants include Gregory (English), Grégoire (French), Gregor (German/Scots/Slavic), Grigor/Grigori/Grigoriy (Armenian/Russian), Grzegorz (Polish), Grigore (Romanian), Hryhorii (Ukrainian), and Greek Grigorios. Diminutives: Goyo (Spanish), Greg (international), Gori (Catalan). Notable bearers include composer Gregorio Allegri, physician-writer Gregorio Marañón, and Filipino general Gregorio del Pilar. The enduring meaning is “vigilant, watchful.”
