Gracelia is Latin, Spanish in Origin.

Gracelia is a Latinate feminine name, most likely a blended or ornamental variant of Spanish Graciela and English Grace, all from Latin gratia "grace, favor, blessing; thanks." The -elia ending aligns it with melodious Romance names and may draw secondary association with Celia, enhancing its soft cadence while retaining the core meaning of divine grace and graciousness.

Usage is uncommon but attested across Spanish- and Portuguese-speaking communities, particularly in the Americas and the Philippines, where Spanish naming traditions linger. The form Gracélia appears in Brazil, while Graciela remains the dominant Spanish spelling; related forms include Italian Graziella and Grace/Gracia. Variant spellings occasionally seen are Graciella and Gracelia without accent in Lusophone contexts. Nicknames range from Grace and Gracie to Celia and Lia. Though never a chart mainstay, the name surfaces in mid-20th century records and contemporary registries as a distinctive alternative to Grace, balancing familiarity with rarity.
