In all the world, Grimes (Grimes 
, Граймс 
) is a rare principally masculine, but very seldom feminine forename. The first name Grimes is characteristic of Reunion, where it is quite a common boy's name, Algeria, where it is a very rare masculine name, and the United States, where it is a very rare dominantly masculine, but uncommonly female name. Much more frequently, Grimes is the last name as well as the forename.
