I have not yet been able to confidently trace the origin of the name Grivel. I have been told that the name is very common both in the east of France and western Switzerland. My assumption at this moment is that the origin of the name probably lies in France.
My own branch of the Grivels seems to originate in Switzerland. See Grivel in the Netherlands for a discussion of this branch.
