Grant Genealogy & Family Tree

Grant is a Scottish surname from Inverness-shire, Scotland, where the earliest Grant ancestor on record was Thomas Grant in 1252. It comes from the Norman word grand which means “big” or “important.” In recent years, it is often used as a given name. The family motto is Te favente virebo which means "Under thy favor I shall flourish."

Other spellings include “Grantt,” “Graunt,” and “Grannd.” Notable people with the surname include British actor Hugh Grant (Notting Hill, Four Weddings and a Funeral, Bridget Jones's Diary), American actress Allie Grant (Weeds, Suburgatory, The Runaways), and British actor Cary Grant (North By Northwest, His Girl Friday, Charade). The first Grant to come to America was James Grant in New England in 1651.
