GREGORIOS (Γρηγὁριος). Greek
name derived meaning "watchman," from
γρηγορέω, a
late and corrupt form of the verb
ἐγρείρω
(to wake or watch).
... A
watchman was a highly appropriate term for a shepherd of the Church, and
accordingly Gregorios was frequent among the early bishops of the
Church. Gregorios of Nyssa, the friend of St. Basil, Gregorios
Thaumaturgos, or the wonder-worker, and others of the same high fame
contributed to render it highly popular in the East, and in the West it
was borne by that greatest and best of papal watchmen to whom the English
Church looks back as the original awakener of her faith... (History of
Christian Names, Yonge, 1884)
