Nanci is a playful twist on Nancy. Nancy comes from the Hebrew name Hannah, meaning “grace.” This slight spelling shift adds a Latin lilt, turning a vintage favorite into something new and vibrant. Pronounced NAN-see, it dances off the tongue like a quick salsa step, full of sunshine and corazón. Though never a chart-topper in California—only a handful of newborns wear the name each year—Nanci charms with its retro sparkle and personal flair. It might even give a niña the confidence to negotiate an extra scoop of helado. Above all, Nanci shines as a warm, uplifting name that carries grace and gusto wherever it goes.
