It is also written as Agness. The name is descended from the Proto-Indo-European '' *h₁yaǵ-'', meaning 'to sacrifice; to worship,' from which is also the Vedic term ''yajña''. It is mostly used in Greece and countries that speak Germanic languages. It was the name of a popular Christian saint, Agnes of Rome, which encouraged its wide use. Agnes was the third most popular name for women in the English speaking world for more than 400 years. Its medieval pronunciation was ''Annis'', and its usage and many of its forms coincided with the equally popular name Anna, related in medieval and Elizabethan times to ''Agnes'', though Anne/Ann/Anna are derived from the Hebrew Hannah ('God favored me') rather than the Greek.

Athletics (sport)
Athletics is a group of sporting events that involves competitive running, jumping, throwing, and walking. The most common types of athletics competitions are track and field, road running, cross country running, and racewalking. The results of racing events are decided by finishing position (or time, where measured), while the jumps and throws are won by the athlete that achieves the highest or furthest measurement from a series of attempts. The simplicity of the competitions, and the lack of a need for expensive equipment, makes athletics one of the most common types of sports in the world. Athletics is mostly an individual sport, with the exception of relay races and competitions which combine athletes' performances for a team score, such as cross country. Organized athletics are traced back to the Ancient Olympic Games from 776 BC. The rules and format of the modern events in athletics were defined in Western Europe and North America in the 19th and early 20th cent ...
