Uncertain. Possibly from a diminutive of Medieval Latin grava, probably passing through a Occitan/Norman stratum, ultimately from Proto-Celtic *grāwā (“gravel, pebbles”). Its use is mainly as an habitational surname, derived from several homonymous toponyms in Italy (cfr. Gravina di Catania, Gravina in Puglia).
