Evolution and historyOne of the oldest forms which gave rise all other variations is Grippiud or Gripuid, which evolved into Old Welsh Griffudd.[1] The second element of the name, iudd, as a noun has a meaning of 'lord' and is found in other Welsh names such as Meredith (Mared[i]udd) and Bleidd[i]udd.[1] In North Wales Griffudd evolved into Gruffudd.[1] “When u came to have the same quality as the clear y (the y of monosyllables and final syllables) the name generally became Gruffydd, and this is now regarded as the standard form,” according to T.J. Morgan and Prys Morgan .[1] Gruffudd of Old Welsh became spelt as Gruffydd in Middle Welsh and Modern Welsh of today. The high central vowel sound of u/y was lost entirely in South Wales and replaced by the i sound, and the form Griffidd became standard in the south, the region to first be encountered by Anglo-Norman scribes.[1] VariationsAnglo-Norman scribes rendered Griffidd and Gruffydd as Griffith, with both Gruffydd and Griffith becoming the standardized forms for the same name since the High Middle Ages and into the modern era.[1] The form of the name encountered in Latin texts is Griffith, Griffini and Gruffin.[1] Many variations have evolved since the Middle Ages and Tudor period, with many springing from abbreviated forms such as Griff.[1] Griffri, Griffith, Griffyn, Griffei, Griffies, Griffitte, Griffits, Griffitts, Griffes, Griffyths, Gripthis, Gripphes, Griffithi, Griffen, Griffee, Griffey, Gruffudd, Gruffydd[1]Patronymics evolving from Griffith include Griffiths and Griffyths, son of Griffith.[1] Hypocoristic formsHypocoristic forms, or “pet names”, included Guto, Gutyn, Gitto, Getyn, Gitton, and Gutta, with many of these becoming surnames themselves.[1] Derivations of Gruffydd by way of Guto/Gitto include Gittos, Gittose, Gittoss, Gittas, Gyttes, Gitts, Gytts, Gittus, Gitthouse, Gyttors, Gittonce, Gittal, Gittall, Gyttall, Gittall, Gethyn. [1]The name Gatehouse may have originated in some parts of Wales and the March from Gittose or a variant as a conscious effort to further anglicize the name.[1] NamesThe name may refer to the following people, often with either spelling used, among other variants such as Gruffuth, Griffudd, etc. {{crossref|(see Griffith (name) for details, hypocoristic forms, etc.)}}: As a given name
As a surname or patronymic
