Etymology
Probably 'hanging wood with a coppice', from the gen. of OE grāfa (variant grǣfe) and hongra (variant hangra ). The identity of the first element is not certain, but this interpretation suits the spellings and makes reasonable sense. It is likely that grāfa was the OE term for coppiced woodland, and if so the word could have been combined with other woodland terms, such as lēah and hangra to denote a part of the area which was managed in this way.
