Girls names that mean redemption. Help me think laterally

I was wondering if anyone could help. I have been searching for a girl name that means redemption (or something similar) and everything I have found online sounds too different/foreign.

Can anyone help me think something else? I think I will need to think outside the box for this and am not too sure where to start.

But I don't want something that sounds too unusual.

Galia is hebrew for redeemed and quite lovely.

Johanna/Joanna means God is gracious. Chana is hebrew for grace too. Eliana means "God has answered me" which is close too.

What about Greek goddesses? Might be a list somewhere online with meanings.

Thank you. I hadn't thought of Grace. And I love that song :)

Any other ideas? Literary or mythical characters? I'm not very well read but I'm wondering if there are some female characters who would fall into this theme?

I think grace would be the best choice. Read the lyrics to amazing grace, some lines remind me of redemption.

Does "Grace" fit the bill at all? In the sense of a lovingkindness that makes redemption available to all who seek it?
