I was watching a TV show set during the depression and a doctor referred to a child who had grippe (pronounced "grip"). DDG took me to this list.

Same in Serbian (грип/grip) and probably most other Slavic languages.

Same in Romanian (gripă). I imagine English is the outlier.

"Gripe" is used to describe gastrointestinal illnesses affecting infants and small children.
There is tonic/patent medicine called "gripe water" still used widely in the Commonwealth.
