Grace
A name associated with elegance, poise and beauty, Grace comes from the Latin name ‘Gratia’ and the meaning of Grace is ‘favour’ or ‘thanks’. Gratia is also considered to come from the Latin word “grātus” which translates to ‘something pleasing’. Greek mythology talks about the Gratiæ, who were three sisters created by Zeus. They were the goddesses of charm, nature, beauty, and goodwill. In the 17th century, Puritans interpreted the name Grace to mean ‘the kindness and love of the Almighty’. Now, the name Grace is often used to symbolise the Christian idea of divine or virtuous grace. One of the most famous figures called Grace was Grace Kelly. A star in Hollywood thanks to her award-winning roles in film and television, she abandoned her career to marry Prince Rainer III and became the Princess of Monaco. Other famous Graces include Jamaican model and songwriter Grace Jones and Grace Hopper, who was an American computer scientist and Navy Rear Admiral who helped to programme the Harvard Mark I computer.
