"majority of the Grimm are named after literature or things like that" Well, let's see...

Grimm named after literature and similar things:


 * 1) Beowolf - Named after Beowulf
 * 2) Ursa - Named after the constellation
 * 3) Nevermore - Named due to the poem The Raven
 * 4) Goliath - Probably named due to the Bible tale David and Goliath

Grimm that are not named after literature and similar things:

So... No, not really. It's almost half-and-half.
 * 1) King Taijitu - In the Volume 1 Director's Commentary, they say that they named it such because it's black and white, like the Taijitu (YinYang) and a type of King Snake that's black and white. So, they put the two names together and came up with King Taijitu.
 * 2) Death Stalker - There's literally a type of scorpion called a Death Stalker, if I remember correctly.
 * 3) Boarbatusk - .... It's a boar... and it has tusks. Lol.
 * 4) Creep - I don't see this having any literary inspiration.
 * 5) Griffon - They're literally griffons.
