Gregoria is a female given name of Latin origin, meaning "vigorous" or "alert". It is derived from the Latin word 'gregorius', which means 'wide awake' or 'watchful'. The name Gregoria is often associated with Saint Gregory, one of the four doctors of the Catholic Church. It is traditionally used in countries such as Spain and Italy, but can also be found elsewhere around the world. In its most common form, Gregoria is spelled with an 'i', although other variations like Gregorio or Grigora may exist depending on the region or language.
The name Gregoria experienced significant fluctuations in popularity over time, with a peak of 55 births in both 1919 and 1920, and a total of 2250 births recorded between 1887 and 2023. However, since the late 1960s, the name has become increasingly rare, with less than 10 births per year since 1970, and as low as 5 births in recent years (2017, 2023).
