Meaning & origin
Harace is a spelling variant of Horace that has always been extremely rare. The name was first recorded in U.S. birth data in 1915 and saw its highest use in 1935, during the peak popularity of similar sounding names. After the 1930s, Harace largely fell out of use, and in recent years it has not ranked in the top 1000 names. With consistently low usage, Harace remains a highly uncommon choice. The name has no recorded top states or notable bearers, reinforcing its rarity.
Harace is a rare spelling variant of Horace, derived from the Latin family name Horatius. The name Horatius is of uncertain meaning, possibly related to the Latin word 'hora' meaning 'hour' or 'time'. Horace was used in England from the 16th century, notably after the Roman poet Horace, but this specific spelling is a modern or Americanized form.
