So why are you imagining there to be associations between other people's names and their characteristics?

Perhaps, long ago, a famous aging leader was nicknamed "Gray-Beard." And
on account of his fame, his son may have called himself "Son of Graybeard."
Then from there, the "son of" was dropped and just the Graybeard remained,
and from there on the beard was dropped and all that remained was the Grey.

Which would mean that the origin of your name has nothing to do with *your* personal characteristics. So I repeat: Why are you imagining there to be associations between other people's names and their characteristics?
