Mariagrazia is of Italian origin, composed of two elements: 'Maria', meaning 'sea' or 'rebelliousness' in Latin, and 'Grazia', meaning 'grace'. This name has been used traditionally among southern Italian families. It was popularized by the cult of Mary, mother of Jesus Christ, which made 'Maria' a common element in many female names across Europe during the Middle Ages. Mariagrazia is often shortened to 'Marigrazia' or simply 'Grazia', reflecting its Italian roots and the warmth and charm it embodies.
"Mariagrazia was given to five newborns in 1986."
