I was driving by a cemetery today, I noticed one of the headstones had a name that looked like "Grice" on it. Is this a name? And if so, what does it mean?

Grice is an English surname which according to Reaney & Wilson's A Dictionary of English Surnames has two possible origins. It can either be from Old Norse "griss" meaning "a pig" or from Old French "gris" meaning "gray".

I know a family in Omaha whose last name is Grice.
