Meaning: Big settlement, big town

Granvil is a variant of Granville, a name from an English surname. Tracing its way back to Grenville, a seaport in Normandy, France, Granvil derives from the Old French grand ville, meaning "big settlement" or "big town.” In turn, this phrase comes from the Latin grandis and villa. As the saying goes, it takes a village to raise a child, and no other name captures this pride in one's place quite like Granvil.
