Graciela Iturbide is arguably Mexico's most famous photographer of all time. Also, I have been hearing this name in Argentina lately -- met a little girl and a grown up (in her 60s) journalist w this name last week.If we ever have a girl, this will definitely make our short list.

To me Graciela is a more refreshing, and interesting choice than Grace. First and middle name. So beautiful, and soft. It’s a nice name I would be happy to consider.

Graciela is a cognate of Gracia which means "grace". -ela in Portuguese means "she". Graciela would mean "her grace".

To be honest, many people mispronounce the name.
Grah-see-ella is one way to pronounce it, if you like.

I notice the ciel in Graciela. Ciel means sky in French. Ark-en-ciel means rainbow in French (literally "arc in the sky"). When I see Graciela I think "graceful rainbow." It also seems multicultural because it is a Spanish name with a French word in it (which I am fully aware is not actually related to this name.) Pretty!

This is my new Spanish name! Totally awesome, right? In Spanish it's pronounced as grahs-yel-lah. I think it is a fresh, beautiful name.
