Beatrice is back. Stored in the attic for almost a century, the lovely Beatrice with its long literary (Shakespeare, Dante) and royal history is being looked at with fresh eyes by parents seeking a classic name with character and lots of upbeat nicknames, like Bea and Bee.

Graciella is a feminine name that beautifully elaborates on the name Grace. It combines the Latin 'gratia' meaning 'grace' or 'favor' with the Spanish diminutive suffix '-ella,' creating a name that essentially means 'little grace.' This charming variation carries the elegance of Grace while adding a romantic, melodious quality particularly appreciated in Hispanic cultures. Though less common than Graciela (with one 'l'), Graciella has a slightly more ornate feel. The name embodies qualities of elegance, divine blessing, and charm. Parents might choose this name for its graceful sound, spiritual connotations, or to honor Hispanic heritage while maintaining connections to the classic virtue name Grace.

This traditional Greek name has held somewhat steady in the lower half of the US Top 1000 for the past 25 years, which makes it a great option for parents looking for a name that both fits in and stands out.
