I think it's *highly* unlikely that there would be a muggle village named
after one of the founders of a house at Hogwart's.

I think it's the ancestral site of Godric Gryffindor's home, that somehow
came to be owned by James Potter. I suspect that the site has been in the
Potter family for many years (heir of Gryffindor and all that), and that's
why it had been passed on to James. Perhaps Harry will settle there after he
leaves Hogwarts.
