Gratia is Latin in Origin.

Gratia is the learned Latin form of a widely loved virtue name, from Latin gratia “favor, kindness, thanks; grace.” In classical myth it is the singular of Gratiae, the Graces, embodiments of charm and beauty, and in Christian Latin it denotes divine grace (gratia Dei). As a given name, it carries the layered sense of charm, goodwill, and unmerited favor.

In Europe it appears in medieval and early‑modern baptismal registers as a Latinization for local forms and, more rarely, in its own right. A notable bearer is Blessed Gratia of Kotor (15th c.), reflecting the fluid boundary between Gratia and Gratianus in monastic Latin. International variants include Grazia (Italian), Gracia (Spanish), Graça (Portuguese), Gracja (Polish), Grâce (French, rare), and Grația (Romanian); English Grace is the direct cognate. Diminutives and elaborations include Gracie, Graziella, Grazietta, Gracita, and Gracinha; related masculine forms are Gratian, Graziano, and Graciano.
