Origin of Grampians

Antiquarian revival of Latin Graupius, with the modern spelling resulting from a 15th-century mapmaker's misprinting of u as m. Unknown exact etymology. Breeze (2002) argues that this represents a corrupt form of Proto-Brythonic *krib, from Proto-Celtic *krīkʷā (“trench, furrow, boundary”).
