The Grisell surname in historical dictionaries
Patronymica Britannica (1860)
GRISELL. GRISSELL. A Saint Grizelda or Grizel occurs in Scotland, though omitted by Camerarius in his list of Scottish saints. Chambers' Pop. Rhymes of Scotland. A less complimentary derivation would be from grisrl, the diminutive of the A-Norm. grls, .a pig. So we have the vernacular Pigg, Wildbore, and other analogous surnames. See Purcell.
