Like many Polish surnames, Grzejny would have been passed down through generations, solidifying its place within families and communities. Records of its usage can be found in historical documents, genealogical databases, and contemporary Polish directories. The distribution of the surname is primarily within Poland, though emigration has led to its presence in other countries.
