This is a medieval toponymic formation, probably old since it is not preceded by the definite article. François de Beaurepaire brings Grangues closer toGoring (Oxford,Garinges 10th century);Goring (Sussex,Garinges 10th century) and Gerringe (Denmark,Gaeringhe 1470), without specifying the etymology.[4] The two British Gorings admit as etymology, either "property of the family or relatives of a man called*Gāra, an unattested Old English personal name, followed by the Germanic suffix-ingas,[7][8] or “the people at the end, from the corner of the piece of land”, on Old Englishgāra 'piece of land' + suffix-ingas.[7] The Old Norse wordgeiri influenced by the Old Englishgāra 'piece of land, probably triangular' >gaire, is well attested inNorman toponymy, generally it gave the microtoponyms La Gare or La Guerre.[9][10]
