Lace

If you're a lover of all things fashion and finery, the feminine name Lace might just be a striking pick. Though this moniker will undoubtedly remind you of the delicate fabric that adorns countless beautiful garments, it has other uses and associations, too. In Manx, a Celtic language, Lace is a shortened form of the Gaelic last name Mac Giolla Chais. Translating to "son of the curly-haired youth," Lace will be a fitting choice for a tiny tot who has a high likelihood of sharing your or another loved one's curly locks.

Lace may also derive from the Middle English or Old French word las, which described a "lace," a strand of silk that was used to tie clothing, shoes, or armor in times past. The last name Lace is said to have been devised for those who made laces for a living or wore them frequently. Though they're not usually made of silk today, a "lace" is still the title given to a fastening string. Could there be a more fitting name definition for a kiddo who forms the closest and most enduring ties with those around them?
