Meaning of these names?

My daughters name is Shelby Graclin ...Can anyone tell me the meaning of either of these names so I can put it in her baby journal . Thanks very much in advance

Meaning of these names?
Shelby is a unisex variant of Selby, from a place name/surname meaning "willow farm" in Old English.





Graclin is simply a recently-created name combining the popular sounds of Grace and Lynn, so while it doesn't actually have a meaning, you might try listing the meanings for both of those independent names.





Grace meaning, quite simply, grace, and Lynn stemming from a surname related to the Welsh "llyn," meaning "lake."





So to VERY loosely give Graclin the etymological meaning it lacks, you might try combing this to get "graceful lake" ... at least for the sake of the baby journal.





Here's a link, by the way. :) http://www.behindthename.com/php/search....

PS Good luck to Shelby when people try to pronounce her name especially in school.

Shelby means: Ledge estate... it is a place name... it means a big beautiful house on a cliff. It can also mean house in the hollow, which again is a house in the woods.





Grace means graceful or charming like a ballerina, and it can also refer to the Grace of God (ie God's love for us and His divine influence in our lives)





Lynn means waterfall.





It's a beautiful name!





I would write down what it means, but also write why you chose those names, since it wasn't for the meaning. Maybe write what you liked so much about Shelby, and how you got Graclin with the spelling you chose.
