Gracey Vad efternamn betyder
Scottish and northern Irish: variant of Grassick an occupational name from Gaelic greusaich griasaich ‘shoemaker’. The name was probably taken from Scotland to northern Ireland at the time of the Plantation (16th and 17th centuries). English: perhaps occasionally from the rare Middle English female personal name Gracy (from Latin Gracia Grecia) which in late medieval England was more commonly rendered as Grace The origin of the Middle English personal name appears to be Latin gratia ‘grace favor’ but it may otherwise have been an altered form of (Latinized) Grecia and Gricia which are occasionally recorded as women's names in 12th- and 14th-century England. These could derive from Old French gris Middle English grece grayce ‘gray’ or from an Old French form of Latin Grecia (‘Greek’).
