Grieuxs

Grieuxs is a term that may refer to the plural form of the French surname Grieux or, more rarely, to a family name encountered in genealogical records. The surname Grieux is of French origin and is typically considered to be toponymic, arising from a place name such as Grieux or a closely related locality. In historical documents, Grieux and its variants appear in various regions of France and among francophone communities, often indicating origin from a specific place.

Literary association: The closely related compound surname Des Grieux is best known from the novella Manon Lescaut by Abbé Prévost, where Des Grieux is the hero. Des Grieux means “of Grieux” and is a toponymic noble surname; it should not be confused with a modern plural form Grieuxs.

Usage and attestations: Grieuxs as a standalone modern surname is uncommon; when encountered, it is usually in genealogical contexts or as a plural form referring to members of a Grieux family. There are no widely recognized contemporary figures identified specifically by the surname Grieuxs in mainstream reference sources.
