Where the name comes from
Grace is an English virtue name, from the word grace, which comes through French from the Latin gratia, "favor, good will". The Puritans began giving it as a name, alongside names like Faith and Hope. It is not a Hebrew name.
Grace in the Bible
No one in the Bible is named Grace. But the word itself is one of the great words of Scripture: God's kindness that no one earns. It is the word Paul uses for how we are saved, and the word the Lord spoke to him in his weakness: "My grace is sufficient for thee". If you want a biblical name that truly means grace, that name is Hannah.
For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:
And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.
But Noah found grace in the eyes of the LORD.
A blessing for Grace
Grace, may you live every day inside the gift your name is named for: God's kindness you never have to earn. May it be enough for you in your weak moments, and may it spill over into kindness toward everyone you meet.
