Contextual Overview
26Now in the sixth month [of Elizabeth's pregnancy] the angel Gabriel was sent from God to a city in Galilee called Nazareth, 27to a virgin betrothed to a man whose name was Joseph, a descendant of the house of David; and the virgin's name was Mary. 28And coming to her, the angel said, "Greetings, favored one! The Lord is with you." 29But she was greatly perplexed at what he said, and kept carefully considering what kind of greeting this was. 30The angel said to her, "Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God.31"Listen carefully: you will conceive in your womb and give birth to a son, and you shall name Him Jesus. 32"He will be great and eminent and will be called the Son of the Most High; and the Lord God will give Him the throne of His father David; 33and He will reign over the house of Jacob (Israel) forever, and of His kingdom there shall be no end." 34Mary said to the angel, "How will this be, since I am a virgin and have no intimacy with any man?" 35Then the angel replied to her, "The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you [like a cloud]; for that reason the holy (pure, sinless) Child shall be called the Son of God.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And the angel said unto her, c] Observing the consternation and confusion she was in
fear not, Mary; he calls her by her name, signifying that she was well known to him, as the saints are to the ministering angels, who are often sent unto them, encamp about them, and do them many good offices; and bids her not be afraid, he had no ill design upon her, nor brought any ill news to her:
for thou has found favour, or "found grace with God"; and what that particular grace and favour was, is expressed in the following verses.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Fear not, Mary - Do not be alarmed at this appearance of an angel. He only comes to announce to you good tidings. Similar language was addressed by an angel to Joseph. See the notes at Matthew 1:20.
Thou hast found favour with God - Eminent favor or mercy in being selected to be the mother of the Messiah.
