Grady is a gender-neutral name with Irish roots, meaning “noble” and "renowned." This rugged name invokes images of an outdoorsy, cowboy type who seeks adventure and new experiences, which is largely considered a boy's name.

Grady was at its highest ranking on the charts at the start of the 20th century and has risen again thanks to the surnames-as-first-names trend.
