Name Meaning

English (Kent): habitational name from a lost or unidentified place called Gregby, apparently in Lincolnshire. Although it is not certain that the surname in Kent is connected with the early bearers in Lincolnshire and Norfolk, it seems plausible. A habitational name with the Scandinavian generic -by (Old Danish bȳ ‘settlement, village’), while typical of the Danelaw, is an impossible coinage in southeastern England.English: perhaps a variant of Grebby from a place so called in Scremby (Lincolnshire).
