The name GREDDY is derived from the joining of two words, Great & Eddy. Great-meaning above average; mighty; intense, superior in quality. Eddy-meaning swirling motion, whirlpool, hurricane.

Definitely NOT G-Reddy, always thought of it more as Gred-D, 2 syllable, slurred together, accent on Gred.

When I went to GReddy in Irvine, everyoen that works there pronounced it "Greddy", like if you were saying "freddy" with a g instead of an f.
