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.

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.

does this imply that the song wasn't actually talking about the Grinch and he just projected onto it?

Full name Chauncey Tiffany Grinch.

Yes, his first name is Ethan.
