Agnès Capri
Agnes is a female given name derived from the Greek , meaning 'pure' or 'holy'. The name passed to Italian as Agnese, to French as Agnès, to Portuguese as Inês, and to Spanish as Inés. 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. It remained a widely used name throughout the 1960s in the United States. It w ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
