Anezka

Anezka is the Czech form of Agnes, derived from the Greek name 'Hagne' meaning 'pure' or 'holy.' This feminine name has deep historical roots, particularly in Eastern European countries. Saint Agnes of Bohemia (also known as Saint Anezka) was a medieval Czech princess who devoted her life to charity and established the first Franciscan hospital in Prague, contributing to the name's cultural significance. While relatively uncommon in English-speaking countries, Anezka remains a cherished traditional name in the Czech Republic and Slovakia. Its distinctive sound and spiritual associations make it an appealing choice for parents seeking a name with both historical depth and unique character.

Pronounced ah-NEZ-kuh.
