About Grover
Clunky for a boy, but with the potential to be cool, this one hasn't caught on for girls. While it did see some use in the 1920s, the tiny numbers may be the result of data input errors.

Forget the furry blue Muppet, forget corpulent President Cleveland (not too difficult), and consider this name anew. We think it's spunky, a little funky, and well worth a second look, similar in style to the likes of Wilder and Ranger, to Sullivan, Chester, and Stanley.
President (Stephen) Grover Cleveland was considered well-liked and respectable in his time, notable for his integrity and fight against political corruption. As such, many children were named after him, popularizing the name and pushing it to Number 20 in the 1880s, around the time of his presidency. Today, however, some may recall his passing and enthusiastic support of the Dawes Act which was so devastating to Native Americans.
Another well known Grover is jazz saxophonist Grover Washington Jr.
A recent year saw Grover used for 26 boys in the US.
Pronounced GROVE-ur.
As of October 2026, Grover ranked #4642 in US births in 1946 SSA, peaked at #886 in 1884.
