Gries, Bas-Rhin
Gries () is a commune in the Bas-Rhin département in Grand Est in north-eastern France. It lies 7 km to the south-southeast of Haguenau. Etymology The first document mentioning the name of the village is dated 13 March 826. Gries is mentioned for the first time under the name ''Gerareshusa''. By 830, it is called ''Gerireshusa''. According to the pastor Guggenbühl the name comes from the given name Gerhard. The name of the village would therefore be in modern standard High German ''Gerhardshausen'', which suggests that it was owned by a certain "Gerhard", whose identity so far has not been discovered. A document from 974 uses the name ''Grioz'' which more closely resembles the current name of the village. Guggenbühl explains that name change as follows: very fast the suffix -hausen of ''Gerireshausen'' has been abandoned, the resulting ''Gerires'' being transformed over the years first to ''Grioz'', then to ''Grieze'' and finally to current ''Gries''.
