Meanings

A male given name: from a Latin word meaning “large, great.”.

Grant can be both a surname and a given name. The name is of English and Scottish origin, and there are several possible origins for the name.
One possible origin of the name is from a nickname derived from the Anglo-Norman graund, graunt ("tall", "large"). This in turn was derived from the Old French grand, grant, which was originally derived from the Latin grandis. This nickname was likely given to a person of remarkable size or merely to distinguish two persons bearing the same name.
Another possible origin of the surname is from a medieval personal name ultimately derived from the Old English byname Granta, which might have meant "snarler".
The surname may also be an alternate spelling of the German Grandt or Grand.

Late 14c., "something granted; authoritative bestowal of a privilege, etc.," from Anglo-French graunt, Old French graant, collateral variant of creant "promise, assurance, vow; agreement, pact; will, wish, pleasure," from creanter "be pleasing; assure, promise, guarantee; confirm, authorize" (see grant (v.)). Earlier in English in now-obsolete sense of "allowance, permission" (c. 1200). Especially "money formally granted by an authority" from c. 1800. In American English, especially of land, from c. 1700.

Tall, great, large.
