Greigg is Scottish in Origin.

Greigg is a rare modern spelling that blends the Scottish Greig and the Anglicized Gregg, both ultimately rooted in Gregory, from Greek Gregorios (gregorein, “to be watchful, vigilant”). Via Latin Gregorius, the name spread across Christendom through early saints and multiple popes, especially Gregory the Great, which cemented its prestige in medieval Europe. In Scotland, Greig developed as a diminutive or patronymic of Gregory and moved between surname and given name; Gregg and Greg rose in the English-speaking world, peaking in the mid-20th century.

Today Greigg remains uncommon, chosen by parents seeking a distinctive twist with familiar pronunciation (“Greg”). Related forms include Greig, Gregg, Greg, Gregory, Gregor, Gregorio, Grigor/Grigori, Grzegorz (Polish), and the Gaelic Griogair/Greagoir. Feminine counterparts include Gregoria and Gregorine. The enduring meaning - “watchful, vigilant; alert” - carries connotations of attentiveness and guardianship.
