Grace

GRAYS /ɡreɪs/

"Grace itself" — a name that carries the full weight of its beautiful meaning

Grace comes directly from the Latin Gratia — 'favour', 'blessing', 'divine grace'. The three Graces of Greek mythology — Aglaea, Euphrosyne, and Thalia — embodied beauty, mirth, and elegance. In Christian theology, grace is the free and unmerited favour of God. As a name, Grace carries all these meanings at once: elegance of movement, kindness of spirit, and the gift of being loved freely. Grace Kelly brought Hollywood royalty to Monaco; Gracie Allen brought comedy; Grace Jones brought avant-garde power.
