Gröschtigraben?

Does anyone know why the "Rütli" is called "Grütli" in the French part of Switzerland? Seems kinda random. Although "Prairie du Grütli" does have a nicer ring to it than "Rütliwiese".

-> Wikipedia:
Das Rütli (älter: grütli "kleine Rodung", daher auch franz. le Grütli) [...]

Feel the knowledge ;-)

You wouldn't believe that I got an sms picture of the Rütli today from a friend who is visiting there!

Spooky coincidence!
