Origin

• The commune of France is from Old French Granville, Grandvilla, Grande Villa, Grandivilla, from grant + ville. The surname is of Norman baronial origin, from Grainville, a former commune in Normandy, from the given name Guarin + ville, meaning “Guarin's town”. Guarin ultimately derives from Proto-Germanic *warduz ("guard").
