Grignani, typically Lombard, is native to the area between Milan and Pavia, it would seem that it can be derived from the name of the town of Grignano in Bergamo, a country that, in medieval times, was a battleground between the Guelph and Ghibelline factions and between the Duchy of Milan and the Serenissima, forcing the supporters of the opposing party to forced emigration, but there is also the possibility that the surname derives from the term grignano, that is the inhabitant of Val Grigna (Lombard valley east of Val Camonica in the Brescia area), but it may also have originated from the medieval name Grinianus (see GRIGNANO).
