Grimm

1. A surname from German.
   • 2017 February 18, John Schwartz, “Tax Advice From Lawmakers Turned Lawbreakers”, in The New York Times‎^[1]:

     Mr. Grimm pleaded guilty to a single count of tax fraud and was convicted in July 2015; he went on to serve eight months in prison. Lawmaker, law enforcer and lawbreaker — that’s a heck of a résumé, and alliterative, too!

From Middle High German grim (“rage”), from the adjective grim, from Old High German grim, from Proto-Germanic *grimmaz (“fierce, grim”).
