O-ho! Two possible meanings!
Originally my parents were going to name me Sam, but since my oldest sister is called Sim they decided to call me Arne. Which is good, since one of my best friends is named Sam.

GREGORY
Gender: Masculine
Usage: English
Pronounced: GREG-É™-ree [key]
English form of Latin Gregorius, which was from the Late Greek name ΓÏηγοÏιος (Gregorios), derived from γÏηγοÏος (gregoros) meaning "watchful, alert". This name was popular among early Christains, being borne by a number of important saints including Saint Gregory Thaumaturgus (3rd century), Saint Gregory of Nyssa (4th century), Saint Gregory of Nazianzus (4th century), and Saint Gregory of Tours (6th century). It was also borne by the 6th-century pope Saint Gregory I the Great, a reformer and Doctor of the Church, as well as 15 subsequent popes.
Due to the renown of the saints by this name, Gregory (in various spellings) has remained common in the Christian world through the Middle Ages and to the present day. It was not used in England, however, until after the Norman conquest. A famous bearer from the modern era was American actor Gregory Peck (1916-2003).
