Grace Baby Names
688 Grace names with meanings, U.S. popularity, and audio pronunciation on every page.
Grace baby names are names that carry the meaning of grace, favor, or mercy — from the name Grace itself to the vast, beloved Hannah family, since Hannah is Hebrew for “favor” or “grace.” Parents love them because they sound soft and elegant while carrying real substance — a name that’s both pretty and meaningful.
Grace itself, and its sweetest forms
The classic Grace has never gone out of style, and its nickname-forward cousins Gracie, Gracelyn and Gracelynn give it a more contemporary, blended feel.
Hannah and the “grace” family
Because Hannah means grace or favor, an entire constellation of names shares its root and its meaning: Anna, Anne, Ana, Hanna, Hana and Chana all trace back to the same Hebrew source. Diminutives like Annie and Nancy soften it further, while Annabelle and Annalise dress it up.
International and blended spins
Names like Anya, Marianna, Mariana and Leanna weave the grace-meaning root into fresh, globally flavored forms, giving parents plenty of ways to keep the meaning while changing the sound.
A related virtue name
Mercy belongs in the same conversation — a virtue name that pairs naturally with Grace in spirit, if not in etymology, for parents drawn to names that speak to compassion.
