About Gripentrog
The surname Gripentrog is of German origin and is derived from the combination of two elements: "grip" meaning "griffin" (a mythical creature with the body of a lion and the head and wings of an eagle) and "trog" meaning "trough" or "manger." Therefore, the meaning of the surname Gripentrog can be interpreted as "griffin trough" or "griffin manger." It is likely that the surname was originally given to someone who either worked with or lived near a trough or manger associated with a griffin, or it could have been a nickname for someone who possessed griffin-like qualities such as strength or bravery.
