| Meaning |
Nickname: Le grand, great, large. A sobriquet for one of big and broad proportions, a giant in size. This surname has ramified very strongly in Scotland. Also, 'the son of Grant.' No doubt the origin is the same. Either affixed to a very plump baby, or a sobriquet given later on to a very big boy, which sobriquet gradually ousted his baptismal name.
