Grimson

Grimson is a surname that may also be found in reference to fictional characters or as a place name in some regional contexts. The exact origins of the surname are not clearly documented in standard reference works, but it is generally treated as a patronymic-style name likely derived from a personal name such as Grim or from Old Norse or English elements meaning "grim" or "fierce." The form Grimson is present in English-language records and is one of several variants formed from names containing the element Grim.

Grimson has been identified in records in English-speaking countries, including the United Kingdom and North America, which reflects broader patterns of English-language surname transmission and migration.

In usage, Grimson functions as a surname for real individuals and, in fiction, as a plausible family or character name in novels, games, and media. Because it does not correspond to a single well-known topic or entity, Grimson entries typically catalog people who bear the surname and note its appearance as a family name in fiction.
