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, 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.
