Gregg

Rapid writing method

Gregg is a given name, typically masculine, derived from Gregory.

It also refers to Gregg shorthand, a system of rapid writing developed by John Robert Gregg in the late 19th century that became the dominant shorthand method in American business: She took notes in Gregg.

The spelling with two g's distinguishes it from the variant Greg.
