About Clan Grewar

Grewar (also spelled Grewer or MacGruar) is a Perthshire surname, first recorded as 'John Grewr of Fortour' in Coupar Angus in 1520. Genealogists differ on its origin: some derive it from the Gaelic MacGruar, 'the brewer's son,' while others treat it as a form of MacGregor. The spelling Grewar itself is not on the American Clan Gregor Society's list of accepted MacGregor names, although the variants Grewer and Gruer are.
