Origin of the Word Griot There are many theories on the origin of the word “griot.” One theory suggest that the word comes from the French word guiriot, which first appears in publication in a manuscript dated the year 1637, titled Relation du voyage du Cap-Verd, written by a Capuchin missionary named A. de Saint-Lô.
