Agnis Origin and Meaning

The name Agnis is a girl's name.

Agnis is a feminine name of Latvian origin, though it shares etymological roots with the more widely known Agnes. Derived from the Greek word 'hagnos' meaning 'pure' or 'chaste,' Agnis carries the same virtuous connotations as its Greek counterpart. In Latvia and other Baltic regions, Agnis has maintained steady if modest usage throughout the years. The name's simple elegance and classical roots have helped it endure despite not achieving widespread international popularity. Agnis offers a distinctive Baltic alternative to the more common Agnes while still connecting to its rich historical tradition of representing purity and moral integrity.
