The Latin word 'gratia' itself, meaning grace, favour, or thanks, used directly as a name. It is the etymological source of Grace and its many forms.
From Latin unda 'wave'. Popularised by the water-nymph heroine of Friedrich de la Motte Fouque's 1811 novella Undine; the undines are elemental water spirits.
Gratia and Undine are given to a similar number of US babies today.
Gratia means grace (latin origin), while Undine means Of the waves (latin origin).
