A color name or one who works with gray cloth
Originally an English occupational surname, Grayer likely referred to a dyer of gray cloth or a person associated with the color gray. As a given name, it has gained modern appeal as a more unique alternative to Grayson or Gray. It rose to minor prominence in the early 2000s due to its appearance in popular literature.
