Meaning & Origins
From the Latin word meaning ‘glory’, not used as a given name before the 20th century. It first occurs as the name of a character in George Bernard Shaw's play You Never Can Tell (1898), and was fairly popular in the 1940s and 1950s.

English: one of the most common and widespread of English surnames, either a nickname for someone who was fond of dressing in this color (Old English grēne) or who had played the part of the ‘Green Man’ in the May Day celebrations, or a topographic name for someone who lived near a village green, Middle English grene (a transferred use of the color term). In North America this name has no doubt assimilated cognates from other European languages, notably German Grün (see Gruen).
