Baby names that mean grace

Grace names carry a double meaning that has kept them in use for centuries: elegance and graceful movement on one side, and unearned divine favour — grace as a gift from God — on the other. Amara ("grace, elegant, graceful, beautiful") shows how the two senses blend in a single entry. The family spans virtue names, Greek charis names and modern graceful coinages.

Decide which grace you mean — the dancer or the blessing. The name will be explained both ways over a lifetime, so be happy with both readings.
