After the Normans had established themselves
in England, the name Grant became widespread, appearing in many
documents from various areas, which are with us today. In the French
and Gaelic languages, the word has the similar meanings of big
and more.
The earliest recordings of Grants in Scotland, however, are from
the mid-thirteenth century, and describe the acquisition of Stratherrick
land through the marriage of a Grant to Sir John Bisset’s
daughter Mary. One of their two children was Sir Laurence le Grand,
who became the Sheriff of Inverness.
