Re: meaning of NANCY
in reply to a message by Nancy Turner Brown
Ann means "grace", so Nancy does indeed mean "grace".
Names were originally derived from words/particles of words, and since words have meanings, that's how names acquired their meanings.
For example, Haley is a variation of Hayley. Hayley was derived from the Old English words "heg", "hay", and "leah", "clearing". Therefore Hayley / Haley means "hay clearing".
