    I'm not a Hebrew Scholar but in my PC Study Bible the 'Strongs' word in the Hebrew for Gracious is 'cannuwn' (khan-noon') meaning gracious. In context it is found in 2Chronicles 30:9 where the word 'Compassionate' added, which is defined as:

    (7356=Strongs number) racham (rakh'-am); from 7355; compassion (in the plural); by extension, the womb (as cherishing the fetus); by implication, a maiden: KJV-- bowels, compassion, damsel, tender love, (great, tender) mercy, pity, womb.

    So it seems to have a very tender deep meaning especially for a woman. That is a lovely name.
