It is thought to be a patronymic name, referring to those who are the son or descendant of a person named 'Griffin', an anglicised version of the Welsh name 'Griffith'. Some also believe it to come from a corruption of the Norman descriptive 'Ruffin', referring to someone who had a ruddy complexion.
