Does anyone know meaning/origins of the surname Greig?
Lesley Finlayson 7/06/03
Has anyone every known of a connection between the Scottish "Greig" name and the sweedish(?) name "Grieg" (the "ei" is switched to "ie")? Specifically the sweedish classical composer Evard Grieg? My grandmother gave me a doc on a connection years ago, but I've long ago lost it. My recollection is that the "Grieg" name went to Scotland and switched the spelling.
Thanks,
Greig Douglas
