The Name Grace in Cursive

Grace in cursive is 𝒢𝓇𝒶𝒸ℯ, and the nickname Gracie is 𝒢𝓇𝒶𝒸𝒾ℯ. The final ℯ is the one letter from Unicode's older set. For a name on a card or a small screen, the bold version 𝓖𝓻𝓪𝓬𝓮 is easier to read.

With only five letters and nothing tall after the G, the capital carries the whole look. Settle on one G (looped, plain or flourished) and use it every time you sign.

The letter that trips people up is the r. A cursive r doesn't look like a printed r. It rises to a small peak, steps across a little, and then drops down. Many learners write it like an i without the dot or like a small n.

After the r come three short round letters: a, c and e. Keep the c open and the a closed so the two don't look alike.

Grace comes from the Latin gratia. English Puritans used it as a virtue name from the 1500s to the 1700s. It came back in the 1800s, helped by Grace Darling, who helped save nine people from a shipwreck in 1838.

In the US it was a top-100 girls' name from the 1860s to the late 1930s. It fell out of fashion, then rose again after 1990, helped along by the TV series Will and Grace (1998–2006).
