  • Grant (law)

    A grant, in law, is a transfer of property, generally from a person or other entity giving the property (the grantor) to a person or entity receiving the property (the grantee).

    Historically, a grant was a transfer by deed of that which could not be passed by livery, an act evidenced by letters patent under the Great Seal, granting something from the king to a subject, and a technical term made use of in deeds of conveyance of lands to import a transfer.

    Though the word "grant" was originally made use of, in treating of conveyances of interests in lands, to denote a transfer by deed of that which could not be passed by livery, and was applied only to incorporeal hereditaments, it became a generic term, applicable to the transfer of all classes of real property.

    As distinguished from a mere license, a grant passes some estate or interest, corporeal or incorporeal, in the lands which it embraces; can only he made by an instrument in writing, under seal; and is irrevocable, when made, unless an express power of revocation is reserved. A license is a mere authority; passes no estate or interest whatever; may be made by parol; is revocable at will; and, when revoked, the protection which it gave ceases to exist.

    Grant (name)

    Grant can be both a surname and a given name. The name is of English and Scottish origin, and there are several possible origins for the name.

  • One possible origin of the name is from a nickname derived from the Anglo-Norman graund, graunt ("tall", "large"). This in turn was derived from the Old French grand, grant, which was originally derived from the Latin grandis. This nickname was likely given to a person of remarkable size or merely to distinguish two persons bearing the same name.
  • Another possible origin of the surname is from a medieval personal name ultimately derived from the Old English byname Granta, which might have meant "snarler".
  • The surname may also be an alternate spelling of the German Grandt or Grand.
