Gregory (countable and uncountable, plural Gregorys)

A male given name from Ancient Greek.
- 1990, Jonathan Kellerman, Time Bomb, page 163:
  The surname Graff was chosen because upscale consumers respect anything Teutonic - regard it as efficient, intelligent, and reliable. But only up to a point. A forename like Helmut or Wilhelm wouldn't have done. Too German. Too foreign. 'Gregory' scores high on the likability scale. All-American. Greg. He's one of the boys, with Teutonic ancestry.
A surname originating as a patronymic.
A small town on the Gregory River in the Shire of Burke, Queensland, Australia.
A small town and port in the Shire of Northampton, Western Australia.
A city in Gregory County, South Dakota, United States.
