Grandet meaning | Last name Grandet origin

Grandet is the variation of the Standfast. Apparently refers to the possession of good feet.

Surname is variation of Grant. Nothing certain is known regarding the origin of the Grants. They have been said to be of Danish, English, French, Norman, and of Gaelic extraction, but each of these suppositions depends for support on conjecture alone." The advocates of a Gaelic source adduce a tradition which makes them McGregors. Those who consider the name French, derive it from grand. On the first appearance of the family in Scotland, it is written "dictus Grant," afterwards "le Grant," and sometimes ridiculously "de Grant," for there was no ancient property so called. As to "le," that particle was prefixed by clerks to most Highland epithets, as well as to Norman. The name first occurs in charters in 1258. Other accounts of the name are given by Dixon, edit. 1855, where we meet with the following anecdote. A wag contrived to alter in the family Bible of a former laird of Grant, the words in Genesis, "There were giants in those days,' into 'There were Grants in those days;' and the good old chief believed it.
