The Swedish noble Gripenberg family was originated from the Swedish province of Östergötland, and the original family name was Witte or Wittman before being granted nobility. The first ever known member of the family was Jacob Jöransson Witte (died 1659), who was a resident in the county of Östra Eneby socken in Östergötland. His son, Johan Wittman (1637 – 1703) was a military designer in the Västerbotten Regiment, and was granted nobility and the surname of Gripenberg in 1678.
