Best Answer

The Grosvenor Square is not actually named after a specific person, but bears the name of the Grosvenor family, which can be traced back to at least 1585. The name itself derives from "Gilbert Le Gros Veneur" ,which was the name of a man from one of the Norman French families, who aided William the Conqueror. Translated directly from french "Le Gros Veneur" means "The Great Hunter", so The Grosvenor Square is in point of fact 'The Great Hunter Square'.
