Hariclea is a Greek name popular around the end of the 19 and beggining of the 20 th century. Can anyone else enlighten me on its meaning ?

Thank you

Graceful and glorious

Well, you still see the name nowadays in Greece, although it does sound a tad old fashoned (like, say, Abigail would to an English speaker). The name itself has a wonderful etymology, frlom "charis" (meaing "grace") and "kleos" (meaning glory):)

I'm probably going to India, I think. But Australia would be fun to visit.
