Origin
Meaning and history of Griezmann
The name Griezmann is believed to have originated from the Norman French language, which was spoken in Normandy, a region in northern France, during the Middle Ages. It is likely derived from the Old French word "gris," meaning "gray" or "grizzled," referring to the color of one's hair or complexion.
The earliest recorded use of the name Griezmann can be traced back to the 13th century in Normandy, where it was initially a descriptive surname given to individuals with grayish hair or a grayish complexion. Over time, it transitioned into a first name used within Norman families.
One of the earliest known historical figures bearing the name Griezmann was Griezmann de Rouen, a Norman knight who fought in the Eighth Crusade during the 13th century. Records indicate that he participated in the siege of Tunis in 1270, under the leadership of King Louis IX of France.
In the 15th century, a French nobleman named Griezmann de Beaumont was a prominent figure in the court of King Charles VII. He played a pivotal role in the defense of Orleans during the Hundred Years' War against the English, and was a close ally of Joan of Arc.
During the Renaissance period, Griezmann Delacroix was a renowned French artist and painter born in 1592. His works, which often depicted religious scenes and landscapes, can be found in various museums and galleries across Europe.
In the 18th century, Griezmann Deveraux was a French philosopher and writer who contributed to the Enlightenment movement. His influential works, which advocated for reason, liberty, and the pursuit of knowledge, were widely read and discussed in intellectual circles of the time.
In the 19th century, Griezmann Dumont was a French explorer and naturalist who embarked on several expeditions to South America. His extensive research and documentation of the region's flora and fauna contributed significantly to the field of natural history.
While the name Griezmann has its roots in Normandy and was predominantly used in France throughout history, it has since spread to other parts of the world, particularly with the migration of French settlers and the influence of French culture.

FAQ
Griezmann: questions and answers
How many people in the U.S. are named Griezmann?
Name Census puts the figure at roughly 70 living Americans. We arrive at this by taking every SSA birth registration for Griezmann going back to 1880 and adjusting each cohort for expected survival using CDC actuarial life tables. The result is an age-weighted living-bearer count, not a raw birth total. That works out to about 1 in 4,896,491 US residents.
Is Griezmann a common name?
We classify Griezmann as "Very Rare". It ranks above 59.3% of all first names in the SSA dataset by living bearers. Across the full history of the data, 70 babies have been registered with this name.
When was Griezmann most popular?
The single biggest year for Griezmann was 2019, when 14 babies received the name. The fact that the average living Griezmann is about 7 years old gives you a rough sense of which era contributed the most bearers who are still alive today.
What does the SSA popularity chart show?
The chart tracks births, not the number of people alive with the name today. Each point shows how many babies were given the name Griezmann in that year. That makes it useful for spotting when the name rose, peaked, or faded.
Is Griezmann a male name?
Yes, 100.0% of people registered as Griezmann in the SSA data are male. You can see the full per-sex comparison in the gender distribution section above, which includes the latest year rank, birth count, and peak year for each sex.
Is Griezmann still being used today?
Yes. The SSA still recorded Griezmann in 2024, and the page above shows its latest-year rank where available. A name can be well past its peak and still remain in steady use, especially if it built up a large population over earlier decades.
Why can a name have a lot of living bearers even if it is not trendy now?
Because living-bearer counts and current baby-name popularity measure different things. A name like Griezmann can build up a very large population over many decades, even if fewer parents are choosing it now than they did at its peak.
Where does this data come from?
First-name figures come from the Social Security Administration's national baby name files, which cover every name on a birth certificate from 1880 to 2024. Living-bearer estimates layer in CDC actuarial life tables broken out by sex to account for mortality. The population baseline (342,754,338) is the Census Bureau's latest national estimate. You can read the full calculation on our methodology page.
Does every first name have Census demographic data?
No. The public Census first-name release only covers names that met the Bureau's publication rules, so many rarer names in the SSA files do not have a published Census demographic snapshot. In those cases, the page still shows the SSA trend, gender history, and state data.
