|wketx=[[Charis]] (Greek: Χάρις) is a given name derived from a Greek word meaning "[[grace]], kindness, and life." | |||
In Greek mythology, a Charis is one of the Charites (Greek: [[Χάριτες]]) or "Graces", goddesses of charm, beauty, nature, human creativity and fertility; and in Homer's Iliad, Charis is the wife of Hephaestus. Charis was also known as Cale ("Beauty") or Aglaea ("Splendor"). | |||
Charis is also the Spartan name of a Grace. | |||
In the Greek and Hebrew biblical term Charis ([[χάρις]]) refers to good will, loving-kindness, favour, in particular to God's merciful grace. It is used over 140 times in the New Testament and is a central concept in the theology developed by St. Augustine of Hippo. | |||
