Meaning and origin of Gracy
Gracy is an English and Latin name that is usually said to mean “variant of Gracie, grace”.
Gracy is a variant of Gracie, the pet form of Grace, from the Latin gratia, favor or thanks. Grace was adopted as a virtue name by the Puritans in the seventeenth century, and Gracie became a given name in its own right. The comedian Gracie Allen, partner of George Burns, made Gracie a household name in the United States. Gracy drops the -ie ending for a simpler look. It is said GRAY-see.
