Name Meaning

English: topographic name for someone who lived ‘(by the) green meadow’, Middle English grene, grein + land, or a habitational name from a minor place so named.

Americanized form (translation into English) of Dutch Groenland and possibly also of German Grönland: habitational name from any of several farmsteads or hamlets so named, with the same meaning as 1 above, from Dutch groen, Low German grön ‘green’ + land ‘land’. The surname Grönland is very rare in Germany.
