Grewar, also spelled Grewer, Gruer or Gruar, is a Scottish surname recorded from the early sixteenth century: George F. Black's Surnames of Scotland notes John Grewyr as tenant in Fortour about 1520, in the rental book of Coupar Angus Abbey. Black groups the name with MacGruar, from a root meaning brewer. The spellings Grewer and Gruer are accepted MacGregor names on the American Clan Gregor Society's List A, although Grewar itself is not.
