As with many surnames, the spelling and pronunciation of 'Grine' may have varied over time, leading to different versions of the name being recorded in historical documents. Variants could include Grin, Greene, Green, and others, depending on regional accents and recording practices.
Today, individuals with the surname Grine can be found across the United Kingdom and in other countries where British emigrants settled. The name has likely evolved and diversified as families grew and dispersed, contributing to the rich tapestry of British surnames and genealogy.
