The surname Gregg is of Irish origin and can be traced back to medieval times in Ireland. It is derived from the Gaelic name "Greagóir", meaning "watchful" or "vigilant". The name was originally given as a personal name, but eventually became a surname.
The Greggs were known to be a prominent clan in County Meath, Ireland, where they held land and exerted influence in the region. They were closely associated with the O'Melaghlin clan, who were the rulers of Meath in the early medieval period.
During the time of English colonization in Ireland, many Irish names were anglicized, and the name Gregg was no exception. As a result, variations of the surname emerged, such as Gregory and Grigson. This was done to make the names easier to pronounce and spell for English speakers.
Over the years, the Greggs spread to different parts of Ireland and even to other countries, including the United States, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand, as many Irish people emigrated due to economic and political reasons. Today, the surname Gregg can be found worldwide, with descendants of Irish immigrants proudly carrying on their ancestral name.
