I'm quite surprised it is called the grand canyon as you know the americans impress themselves with we are the biggest or have the biggest or are the fastest don't believe me where did the gas guzzlers start from etc I think they should rename with a name more suited to their culture like tiny canyon

It might be called the "grand" canyon because it costs a "grand" to go and see the darn thing (unless your local of course).
But personally i think its meant to be a prepresentation of its grand size in general terms; as in vast.

its called the Grand Canyon because of the length, depth and natural beauty of it

It's called 'grand', because it's unusual, and spectacular.
Would you be able to fit a 'grand piano' in your house, if it were 1000 miles long?

No just big. And Big Canyon doesn't sound important enough.

No. Because it's so enormous, awe-inspiring, expansive and...well, grand.
