From the Greek Γρηγόριος (Grēgórios), derived from grēgorein “to be watchful, stay awake,” ultimately from the perfect participle egrēgoros “awake,” Gregorios means “vigilant” or “watchful.” It flourished in the early Christian and Byzantine world, borne by eminent church fathers such as St Gregorios the Theologian (of Nazianzus), St Gregorios of Nyssa, and St Gregorios Palamas; through the Latin form Gregorius it passed into Western Europe and onto multiple popes, cementing its scholarly and ecclesiastical tone.
