      "bright, clear"

      French from Greek
    • Meaning:

      "of Delphi; womb"

      English, virtue name
    • Description:

      Grace, a simple and pure virtue name which originally referred to divine grace, is a fashionable classic. In the early 2000s, it seemed headed for the Top 10 but pulled back from the upward trajectory, which you may consider a very good thing.

      Although Sylvia seems to be having somewhat of a revival among trendsetting baby namers, we'd still opt for the even gentler and more unusual Sylvie.

It debuted on the US Top 1000 in 2016.

    • Meaning:

      "wealthy"
    • Description:

    • Meaning:
