I have always thought of Grindelwald as being German for several reasons. One, both Grindel and Wald and German names, "Grindel" being old German for bolt and "Wald" meaning forest. Also, Gellert was the last name of a German poet. His physical description of blond hair also gives me that impression, as many Germans are of Scandinavian descent. Besides, JKR said that Grindelwald was supposed to be reminiscent of Hitler, who, of course, was German. What does everyone else think?
