Altagracita is Spanish in Origin.
Altagracita is the Spanish diminutive of Altagracia, a Marian name honoring Nuestra Señora de la Altagracia, patroness of the Dominican Republic. From alta “high” (Latin altus) + gracia “grace” (Latin gratia), it conveys “highest grace.” The affectionate suffix -ita gives an intimate, endearing tone while preserving the devotional sense. The cult of Our Lady of Altagracia flourished from the 16th–17th centuries in Higüey; the name spread across Caribbean Catholic communities, with a feast on January 21.
Usage centers in the Dominican Republic and its diaspora, with occurrences in Puerto Rico, Cuba, and mainland Latin America. Variants and related forms include Altagracia (standard), Altagracia/Alta Gracia, Altagrace (Anglicized/French-influenced), and Gracita. Nicknames include Alta, Graci/Gracie, and Cita; Grace is a semantic equivalent in English. Today, families often register Altagracia as the formal name and use Altagracita as a familiar form or middle name.
