  • The Grill family are noted for their contribution to the Swedish iron industry and for exports of iron and copper during the 18th century. Starting as silversmiths and experts on noble metals the Grills became engaged in a wide range of businesses. After 1700 the family began its rise to prominence. They owned ironworks, while operating wharves, and importing material related to shipbuilding. The Grills benefited from mercantilist policy. With a positive balance on their account the Grills became engaged in banking, also in the Dutch Republic; around 1720 in the market for government liabilities and then mediating large credits and clearing international bills of exchange. The Grills had significant influence with the Swedish East India Company (SOIC); three members became directors of the SOIC and the Grill firm traded as members of the SOIC and privately. All the noted Grills were in some way connected to the main Grill Trading House and to each other. Some Grills married a relative, others helped their nephews into business. In this way the Grill name was kept and passed on through the generations. (en)
  • Släkten Grill härstammar från Augsburg i Tyskland där Andreas Grill 29 juni 1571 fick tysk-romerskt, borgerligt vapenbrev med vapen (sköld: i fält av guld på ett svart treberg på ett ben stående, naturfärgad trana, i näbben hållande en naturfärgad gräshoppa; vulst: av guld och svart; hjälmprydnad: sköldens trana; hjälmtäcke: invändigt av guld, utvändigt svart). Släkten inflyttade till Sverige med sonsonen, guldsmeden Anthoni Grill (död 1675), som var född i Augsburg men sedan 1638 hade varit borgare i Amsterdam. Han var svensk riksguardie (chef för Rikets myntverk) 1658–1667. Hans söner blev grosshandlare och räknas till den så kallade Skeppsbroadeln i Stockholm under 1700-talet. Släkten har två grenar – Garphyttegrenen och Godegårdsgrenen. Grill är upptagen i Kalender över Ointroducerad Adels Förening. Släktens härstamning enligt traditionen från en genuesisk patriciersläkt Grillo är obestyrkt. Den 31 december 2005 fanns det 169 personer med efternamnet Grill i Sverige. (sv)
