Gregg Origin and Meaning

The name Gregg is a boy's name.

Gregg is a masculine name that originated as a variant spelling of Greg, which itself is a diminutive form of Gregory. The name Gregory comes from Greek origins meaning 'watchful' or 'vigilant.' Gregg gained popularity in English-speaking countries during the mid-20th century, peaking in the 1960s and 1970s. The double 'g' spelling variation gives the name a slightly more substantial appearance than the single-g version. While traditionally used as a given name, Gregg has also become common as a surname.

Though less frequently given to newborns today than in previous decades, Gregg maintains a classic, unpretentious appeal.
