Guerengues'' in 1216 (AC, H 321); '' pudGrengueis'' in 1220 ; ''Grengues'' in 1282 (AN, J 220,2) ; ''Greyngues'' in 1282 (cart. norm. n° 996, p. 256) ; ''Granges Generenciæ'' in the 13th century (cart. of Préaux) ; ''Grenguez'' 14th century ; ''Grenchiæ'' 16th century (Lisieux, p. 52).
This is a medieval toponymic formation, probably old since it is not preceded by the definite article. François de Beaurepaire brings Grangues closer to Goring (Oxford, ''Garinges'' 10th century); Goring (Sussex, ''Garinges'' 10th century) and Gerringe (Denmark, ''Gaeringhe'' 1470), without specifying the etymology. 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'', Glover, Judith, ''Sussex Place-Names: Their Origins and Meanings'', Countryside Books, 1997 or “the people at the end, from the corner of the piece of land”, on Old English ''gāra'' 'piece of land' + suffix ''-ingas''. The Old Norse word ''geiri'' influenced by the Old English ''gāra'' 'piece of land, probably triangular' > ''gaire'', is well attested in Norman toponymy, generally it gave the microtoponyms La Gare or La Guerre.Élisabeth Ridel, ''the Vikings and the words: The contribution of ancient Scandinavian to the French language'', éditions errance, Paris, 2009, p. 215.Guy Chartier, “Of some Norman toponyms” in ''Nouvelle revue d'onomastique'', 2000, n° 35-36, p. 280 - 28 /ref>
