Origin and meaning of Grace
Grace comes from the Latin gratia, 'grace, favour, divine gift', and was taken up as a virtue name by English Puritans in the seventeenth century. It holds ideas of elegance, kindness and blessing. Much loved throughout the Anglo-Saxon world, where it is an ever-current classic, it has travelled far thanks to iconic bearers; the related forms Grazia in Italy and Gracia in Spain show its reach across the Christian tradition.
