I didn't check the spelling, so probably your spelling is correct and mine 
is wrong.
But if the name Gregorovitch comes from a country using the Cyrillic 
alphabet, both would be transliterations into the Latin alphabet, usually in 
a way to match the pronounciation, a bit like phonetic spelling. While there 
are certain rules how to do it in a specific language, there are still many 
variations, for example by mistakes made by officials in an immigration 
office or simply by different languages a name is transliterated into - 
Gregorovitch for English, Gregorowitsch for German, probably different for 
French or Italian.

Maybe not the only one that makes sense, but the easiest explanation and 
therefore the best one, with a nod to William of Ockham.
