No, it is the name of a tribe, the Graikoi. The root grai- , which means to be grey or become old is probably not connected to the name, which was once the name the Hellenes used for themselves, but fell out of use in ancient times. It was revived briefly by Aristotle, but it is the Romans, who called Hellas "Graecia" and its people Graeci, who gave the word Greek to us. The Romans had no great art or literature of their own - they were a practical, legalistic people -and they borrowed just about everything cultural from the Greeks, whom they then naturally despised. And so to be called Greek or accused of Greekishness was certainly not a compliment for a Roman.
