i think it's like Grilsh. I'm just wondering why they picked such an unusual name for him. it seems like it should have some sort of alternate meaning.

Hm, my guess is they picked that name because it sounds a bit like teeth gnashing. I actually thought of crocodile teeth when I heard it, hehehe

I think they picked it on the one hand because no one else is called Grlszc. This name does not
exist
so to speak. Steven has no social number either and he is no human being. Why should he have a human name then?
And yey, it
really
sounds like gnashing teeth.

You are probably right about the intention of giving him a name that does not exist.
The r is like a vowel in some Slavic languages (Serbocroat, Czech). There is an island of Krk (pronounced ("Kerk") in ex Yugoslavia (Croatia) and there is a word "death" that is spelled smrt in Czech as well.
As to the ending, it looks Polish, but should have a z at the end as in "Grlszcz" (the combination szcz is used in latin transcription of Polish to describe the Slavic consonant shch, as in Khrushchov). In Italian, the sc of Brescia is pretty close.
Interesting movie.
