Greville is a boy’s name of English origin and a place name with ties to a village in the Manche department of Normandy, France. Like most names in the British Isles, it became widespread after the Norman Conquest, when wealthy settlers established land in Buckinghamshire, England. Greville has since taken the nation by storm—especially as a surname—and with so many notables in British politics, philanthropy, and literature, there's no doubt a name like Greville will inspire baby to break new ground in spaces of their own.
