Grund is Germanic in Origin.

Grund is a stark Germanic word-name from the Proto-Germanic root grundu, meaning ground, bottom, or foundation. It appears in Old High German as grunt/grund and in Old Norse as grund; today it survives in German (Grund, also "reason" or "cause") and in Danish, Norwegian, and Swedish as grund ("foundation," "shoal"). In Icelandic, grund refers to a grassy plain or meadow. Together these strands point to senses of solidity, basis, and firm footing.

As a given name, Grund is rare and mostly modern, better known historically as a surname or place-name for people dwelling on low ground or from locales called Grund. Sporadic first-name use occurs in Germanic and Nordic countries, sometimes inspired by spare, noun-based naming. Related forms include the Norwegian masculine given name Grunde and the family-name spelling Grundt. While chiefly masculine in impression, it can function as a crisp, unisex choice.
