(See also Watcher (angel)#Grigori, the egrḗgoroi or Watcher angels in Second Book of Enoch). Through folk etymology, the name also became associated with Latin ''grex'' (stem ''greg–'') meaning "flock" or "herd". This association with a shepherd who diligently guides his flock contributed to the name's popularity among monks and popes.

Gregoire (composer)
Gregoire (flourished c.1500-1504) was a composer. Scholarship on Gregoire Gregoire is known only through his publications by the music publisher Ottaviano Petrucci. While biographical content about Gregoire is not known, scholars are fairly certain he was French both because of his name and the style of the music he composed. His motet ''Ave verum corpus/Ecce panis angelorum/Bone pastor/O salutaris hostia'' was published in ''Motetti B'' (1503).
