You’re a mean one, Mr. Grinch.

So likely his name, possibly only his last name.

Maybe that’s meant in a derogatory way though
The entire song is derogatory. If you sing, “You’re a butthole, Mr. Stinky”, then you haven’t identified who you’re singing about, unless someone is actually named Mr. Stinky.

Raymond Edmunds (born 12 March 1944 at Queen Victoria Hospital, Melbourne, Australia), also known as the Donvale Rapist and Mr. Stinky

Well I’ll give you that one. I guess it’s possible the Grinch, having lived nearby for a while, earned that as his nickname or also know as. Still not his job or ethnicity.
