==Name== ===Etymology=== The theonym Grannus is a latinized form of Gaulish Grannos. The same stem appears in the personal names Grania, Grannia, Grannicus, and Grannica, as well as in the place names Grignols (from an earlier *Granno-ialon 'Grannus' clearing'), Aquae Granni (> Aachen), and Granéjouls.
