The name Lace is of English origin, derived from the fabric lace, often characterized by intricate patterns and delicate design. It entered popularity as a given name in the late 20th century, particularly within the United States, likely influenced by the increasing use of fabric-inspired names for girls during this period.
"The name Lace experienced its peak popularity between 1983 and 1993, with a significant increase from 23 births in 1984 to 31 births in 1988, marking the highest number of annual births for this name during the entire period recorded. However, after 1995, its popularity began to decline steadily, with only five years since then (2004, 2009, 2014, 2017, and 2018) reporting more than five births annually."
