Dear Rob,
Yes they are the same.
If I recall correctly Grifoun is the old French name for them, while the name Griffon is middle english. Here are some of the bases .... Latin - Gryphus .... Greek - Grypos .... Spanish - Gripo
There are several variations, however Gryphon, Griffin, and Griffen, seem to be the most common.
Forgive me if I am off on these as I am pulling info from memory!
Hope this helps some

Yes, FW is right. Griffin and Gryphon are the same.

The hippogriff is the combination of horse (hippo) and griffin (griff)
