Origin & history of Gracie
Latin gratia (grace/favour)
→ English Grace
→ pet form Gracie
1
Latin roots
Gracie is the diminutive of Grace, from the Latin gratia meaning favour or thanks. Gracie Allen (1895–1964) was one half of the Burns and Allen comedy duo — her scatterbrained stage persona and razor-sharp timing made her one of the most beloved comedians in American history. The Gracie Awards for outstanding women in media are named for her. The name has become increasingly popular as a standalone given name, part of the vintage-nickname trend. It offers parents who love Grace a warmer, more informal alternative.
