Grier Origin and Meaning
The name Grier is a girl's name of Scottish origin meaning "alert, watchful".
The more popular Greer spelling might lean feminine, however, Grier sees more even distribution between the sexes. It is given to a small handful of babies each year, but for every one Grier, there are three Greers.
Meening "alert and watchful", it's one of the original androgynous movie star names, precursor to Drew and Glenn and Cameron, borne by Greer Garson. Actress Brooke Shields chose Grier for her second daughter back in 2006, sister to Rowan.
