Irish Gaelic Names that Start With A

Aignéis is a feminine name that represents the traditional Irish Gaelic form of Agnes. The accent on the 'e' indicates a specific pronunciation (roughly ang-NYESH). This beautiful Celtic variation derives from the Greek name Agnes, meaning 'pure' or 'holy.' Historically, Aignéis would have been common in Irish-speaking regions, particularly before the decline of the Irish language. The name carries connections to Saint Agnes, an early Christian martyr known for her purity and devotion. While relatively rare today even in Ireland, Aignéis offers a distinctive option for parents seeking to honor Irish heritage with an authentic Gaelic name. Its melodic quality and unique spelling provide an uncommon alternative to the more widely used Agnes, while still maintaining its traditional significance and spiritual associations.
