History & Origin

Gregoria is the feminine form of Gregory, from Greek gregoros, 'watchful, vigilant,' through Latin Gregorius. Early Christian writers liked the name for its echo of the scriptural call to keep watch, and sixteen popes have borne the masculine form. Gregoria has been used in Spanish, Italian and Filipino families for centuries; in the Philippines it is remembered through Gregoria de Jesus, a leader of the revolutionary Katipunan movement (said 'greh-GOR-ee-ah').

In the U.S. it appears only in very small numbers. Rare here, traditional in Spanish-speaking countries.

Did you know? Gregory means 'watchful' in Greek, and early Christian writers loved the pun on the New Testament call to stay awake and keep watch - Gregoria carries the same meaning.
