English term or phrase: Ebony Grace
My daughters name.
Darryl Sirgunas
juodoji malonė; juodoji gracija
Explanation:
The word "ebony" has two meanings: "juodmedis" ( a name of the tree)and a poetical one associated with the black collour: "juodas". So, it would be "juodoji malonė", if the derivation of this name has the religious ground. However, this name could be translated as "juodoji gracija" because the word "grace" has some meanings as well: "malonė" and "gracija".
