Gregory (given name)

The masculine first name Gregory or Grégory comes from the Latin name “Gregorius,” which is based on the Greek name “Γρηγόριος” (Grēgórios). This name means “watchful or alert,” and it comes from the Greek word “egeiro,” which means “to awaken or arouse.” (See also the “Watcher angels” mentioned in the Second Book of Enoch.) Through folk etymology, the name also became linked to the Latin word “grex” (with the stem “greg–”), meaning “flock” or “herd.” This connection to a shepherd who carefully leads his flock helped make the name popular among monks and popes. Sixteen popes and two opposing popes have used the name Gregorius, beginning with Pope Gregory I (also called Gregory the Great).
