The name Grimm is of German origin, derived from the Middle High German word 'grimme', which means 'fierce' or 'grim'. It was often used as a nickname for someone who had a stern or serious demeanor. The name gained significant recognition through the Brothers Grimm, Jacob and Wilhelm, notable figures in 19th-century Germany known for their collection of folk tales and fairy tales, including classics like Cinderella, Rapunzel, and Hansel and Gretel.
"Grimm saw a notable spike in popularity between 2019 and 2021, with a total of 46 babies named Grimm born during those three years."
