Meaning

pet form of Grace

The story

Gracie is the affectionate English form of Grace, a virtue name drawn from Latin gratia, grace or favor. The -ie ending began as familiar speech, but Gracie has long stood independently on birth certificates rather than requiring a formal Grace behind it. Related traditions carry forms such as Italian Grazia, Portuguese Graça, and Spanish Gracia or Graciela, though they are not interchangeable nicknames in every family. The US curve has a small early history, settles lower through much of the twentieth century, rises dramatically in the 2000s, stays high in the 2010s, and eases in the 2020s. That pattern makes Gracie both vintage and distinctly modern in its current wave. It keeps the virtue meaning of Grace while changing the register: warmer, more playful, and complete enough to live on its own.

Austria

last on record 2022

Gracie is not on the 2025 record for Austria, which publishes every first name down to a single birth, so the name was not given there that year.
The count never rose above 1 in a year, too few to chart.

Live births in Austria by year of birth, 1984–2025, from Statistik Austria’s first-name statistics; spellings that differ only by special characters are counted together (umlauts stay apart), every name down to a single birth is published, and the count covers babies with Austrian citizenship only until 2009, every baby from 2010, and from 2015 also births abroad to mothers living in Austria. Shares divide by Statistik Austria’s count of live births from 2010, and before that by the file’s own total for the year.

Gracie is not on the 2022 record for Mexico City, where small counts are withheld at source.

Civil-registry acts in Mexico City by registration year. Counts are lower bounds (names under 6 in a month and borough are removed at source) and count name-instances, not people; compound names are split, so “Maria Jose” counts under each part. 2023, a partial extract through 3 Mar with no cell on record for this name, is excluded.

Montevideo City

last on record 1971

Gracie is not on the 2011 record for Montevideo, whose registry withholds nothing, so the spelling was not given there that year.
The count never rose above 1 in a year, too few to chart.

Births in the department of Montevideo (not all of Uruguay) by first name and year of birth, 1940–2011, from the city’s civil registry, which writes names in capitals, almost always without accents; counted as spelling groups (accent and punctuation variants merged), nothing is withheld at source, and 2012 is excluded as a partial year.

Not on the record in Spain, Argentina, Puerto Rico and Poland: those registries withhold small counts, so rare uses may sit below their floors.

Not on the Chile record: nametree keeps spellings that reached 5 registrations in some year, so rarer uses are not shown. Not on the France record: nametree keeps spellings that reached 20 births in some year, so rarer uses are not shown. Not on Norway’s list: Statistics Norway lists only first names carried by 200 or more living people, so rarer names are not shown.
