Meaning & Origin
A topographic surname from Middle English for someone who lived near a grove.
Grover is a boy's and girl's baby name of Middle English origin, from a topographic surname meaning 'one who lives near a grove of trees.' President Grover Cleveland was the only U.S. president to serve two non-consecutive terms (22nd and 24th), cementing the name in American political history.
Grover also lives in the hearts of generations as the lovable blue Muppet on Sesame Street — giving it both presidential gravitas and childhood warmth. A name with range: equally at home in a cabinet meeting or on a street where the air is sweet.
