Meaning & Etymology

The name Grace originates from the English word 'grace', which is derived from the Latin 'gratia'. It was one of the virtue names created by the Puritans in the 17th century. The name symbolizes elegance, divine grace, and goodwill. It gained popularity in the English-speaking world at the end of the 19th century, experienced a decline over the next century, but made a significant comeback by the end of the 20th century. The American sitcom 'Will and Grace' (1998-2006) may have contributed to it...
