Background Story
Grace comes from the English word grace, which derives from Latin gratia, and was one of the virtue names created in the 17th century by the Puritans. The actress Grace Kelly (1929-1982) was a famous bearer. The name was very popular in the English-speaking world at the end of the 19th century, declined over the next 100 years, and staged a comeback at the end of the 20th; it was the top name for girls in England and Wales in 2006. It is also used in Dutch, Italian, Polish, Portuguese and Spanish.
