Name Meaning
Some characteristic forenames: German Erwin, Franz, Otto, Alois, Bernhard, Ernst, Gerhard, Hermann, Klaus, Konrad, Manfred, Monika.
German: nickname for a cheerful person, from Middle High German grille ‘cricket’ (Old High German grillo, from Late Latin grillus, Greek gryllos). The insect is widely supposed to be of a cheerful disposition, no doubt because of its habit of preferring hearths and warm places. The vocabulary word is confined largely to southern Germany and Austria, and it is in this region that the surname is most frequent. This surname is also found in Czechia and Slovenia (see 4 below).
German: habitational name from any of the eight places in Upper Bavaria and Austria, perhaps so named from Middle High German grille ‘cricket’ (see 1 above).
