Biography

Christening: 6 Aug 1726, Cardross Parish, Church of Scotland, Dunbartonshire, Scotland.

Family History Scotland - Grizel - Grizelda - Griselda.

This name is thought to have been derived from the Old German "grisja" (grey) and "hild" (battle). The 14th century author Boccaccio wrote a story about Patient Griselda in the Decameron and the English author Chaucer wrote a version of this in "The Clerk's Tale" which popularised the name and associated it with patience. Grizel became a popular form in Scotland though there were many variations - Grizzel, Girsel, Girzel and Goirzel. It was used by both the nobility and commoners - one well known bearer of the name was Lady Grizel Baillie (1665-1746), daughter of a Covenanter, the 1st Earl of Marchmont. She wrote a number of Scots songs and her "Household Book" was reprinted by the Scottish History Society in 1911. In Scotland, Grizel sometimes became Grace and a diminutive form was Zelda.
