A square worth showing up for
Where we meet with culture, questions, and craft.
Knock with your name — from any language. Arabic, Hebrew, Greek, Russian, Hindi, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Spanish, Irish, Haitian Creole, Jamaican Patois, and more. If we know it, you get a plain-English meaning, where it comes from, and the name in its own script when there is a real one. Tap Hear it to hear it said. We only write what is well known. If we don’t have it, we say so.
Guests can ask about the names set out front. The rest of the list is inside the club.
English virtue name
We don’t have a native-script spelling on file for this one, so we don’t make one up.
Meaning
Grace, favor.
Origin
English virtue name from Latin gratia, grace or favor. Hebrew Hannah means grace too and has its own card — related idea, different name history. No traditional Arabic form of English Grace.
Grace as the English word. Soft enough for the sill.
