GRUEN - name, origins
The name "Gruen" is a spelling variant of the German name "Grün"
which is a word meaning the color green. Some Gruen families migrated from
Germany to Russia in the 18th century on invitation from the Russian czar. In
the 19th century, after their no-taxation and no-conscription priveleges were
revoked, German families returned from Russia to Germany. Some German
families with the "Gruen" or "Grün" surname changed it to
"Green" after they immigrated to the U.S.
