Every parent wants to give their child a beautiful name that they will love for the rest of their life. With this in mind, many parents choose names that have elegant and timeless meanings like one of “grace.” On our list of baby names that mean “grace,” you’ll find options for both girls and boys, and some unisex ones, too.
Some of the most beautiful girl names that mean “grace” (besides Grace, of course) are Anita, Hannah, and Mila. Some neat boy names that also carry this meaning are Shane and Zain.
Anita is a name of Spanish and Sanskrit origin, meaning “grace or unguided.” This pretty name has been a part of the US top 1,000 names since the late 19th century. However, it has become less and less popular throughout the year, nearly falling off the charts in 1997.
The Hebrew name Hannah has also been a part of the US top 1,000 since the late 19th century. But the difference between Anita and Hannah is that Hannah got a second wind in the ‘70s, and continues to top the charts as of 2024. Still, Hannah’s popularity is equal to that of the Slavic and Russian name Mila, which means “gracious and dear.”
Although it is much more popular with boys than it is with girls, the name Shane is an Irish unisex name meaning “God is gracious.” Shane is similar to the lesser-known name Zain, which of Hebrew origin and also means “God is gracious.”
