The name in the Occitan language is Grunh e Bòrdas . The first part of the name is derived from a person in Gallo-Roman times called "Grunnius" or "Granieus".

Occitan Borda ( German  cottage, barn, tenant farm ) has its origins in Germanic word borda ( German  Dielenhaus ).

The inhabitants are called Grunois and Grunoises or Grun-Bordasiens and Grun-Bordasiennes .

history

About ten water sources in the area of ​​the municipality allowed a development since prehistory . Fernand Sabouret, a former mayor, owns a collection of worked and polished stones found in Grun-Bordas. The remains of an oppidum in Gallo-Roman times show that there was a structured settlement in that era. It was half an acre in area and was located above the Vern valley. There you can see a very large stone in the forest, which was set up like a dolmen and is called la tombe du général ( German  the general's grave ). The marriage of Eleanor of Aquitaine to Heinrich Plantagenet , the future English king, brought about the domination of the Périgord by the English crown from the 12th century until 1453, when Aquitaine was reintegrated into the Kingdom of France after the end of the Hundred Years War . In the 15th century Bordas was a parish and a priory that the abbey of Tourtoirac shelter. In the eight Huguenot Wars , Catholic and Protestant parties faced each other, and the troops looted the country and destroyed numerous churches in the 16th century. In 1584 the peasants revolted at the announcement of new taxes, but the revolt was put down by royal forces. This croquant rebellion continued, however, and did not end until 1642 when its main leader, Pierre Grellety, negotiated his surrender. The accession to the throne of the French King Charles X in 1824 changed the life of the community, because the Route nationale 21 crossed the territory of the community from then on.
