Two main origins: * From Old French grateor (“one who grates”), hence possibly an occupational surname for a furbisher. * Borrowed from German Gräter, an occupational surname for a worker in a granary or warehouse, from Middle High German grede (“granary, warehouse”).

From Old French grateor. See grate. By surface analysis, grate (“to scrape, etc.”) + -er.
