Virtue of goodness, generosity, and divine favor
Derived from the Latin word 'gratia', the name signifies elegance, kindness, and mercy. It was popularized by the Puritans in the 17th century as a 'virtue name' representing God's favor toward humankind. Today, it remains a quintessential classic that balances simplicity with a sense of refined beauty.
