Grace (given Name)
Grace is a female name from the Latin ''gratia''.Hanks, Hardcastle and Hodges, ''Oxford Dictionary of First Names'', Oxford University Press, 2nd edition, , p.113. It is often given in reference to the Christian concept of divine grace and used as a virtue name. As one of the theological virtues, Grace was in regular use by English Puritans in the 16th through the 18th centuries. The name also has connotations of physical grace, beauty, and charm. The name was revived in the mid 19th century and was popularized in the Anglosphere by the fame of Grace Darling, a British woman who saved nine people from a shipwreck in 1838. Usage of the name increased for British girls in the late 1830s and 1840s. Many British and Irish girls named Grace then immigrated to the United States, where they passed the name Grace down to their descendants. Grace declined in use in the United Kingdom after 1870, but ranked among the top 100 names given to American girls from the 1860s to the late 1930s. ...
