Agnesa Origin and Meaning

The name Agnesa is a girl's name of Czech origin.

Agnesa is a feminine name of Greek origin, serving as a variation of Agnes. It derives from the Greek word 'hagnos,' meaning 'pure' or 'holy.' While Agnes has ancient roots dating back to early Christianity, the Agnesa variant adds a softer, more melodic quality with its ending vowel. This form has been particularly popular in Eastern European countries, including Slovakia, Czech Republic, and parts of the Balkans. The name carries associations with innocence, virtue, and moral purity from its etymological roots. Though less common in English-speaking countries, Agnesa offers a fresh alternative to the more traditional Agnes while maintaining its classic heritage and dignified meaning.
