This is a medieval toponymic formation, probably old since it is not preceded by the definite article. François de Beaurepaire brings Grangues closer to Goring (Oxford, Garinges 10th century); Goring (Sussex, Garinges 10th century) and Gerringe (Denmark, Gaeringhe 1470), without specifying the etymology. The two British Gorings admit as etymology, either "property of the family or relatives of a man called *Gāra, an unattested Old English personal name, followed by the Germanic suffix -ingas,Glover, Judith, Sussex Place-Names: Their Origins and Meanings, Countryside Books, 1997 {{ISBN|978-1-85306-484-5}}A.

The Old Norse word geiri influenced by the Old English gāra 'piece of land, probably triangular' > gaire, is well attested in Norman toponymy, generally it gave the microtoponyms La Gare or La Guerre.Élisabeth Ridel, the Vikings and the words: The contribution of ancient Scandinavian to the French language, éditions errance, Paris, 2009, p. 215.Guy Chartier, “Of some Norman toponyms” in Nouvelle revue d'onomastique, 2000, n° 35-36, p. 280 - 281 [https://www.persee.fr/doc/onoma_0755-7752_2000_num_35_1_1376]
