Meaning & History
Agnieszka is the Agnes equivalent in Polish, a feminine given name with deep religious roots. The name derives from the Greek Hagne (from hagnos meaning “chaste”) and is most famously linked to Saint Agnes, a virgin martyr under the Roman emperor Diocletian. Her name later became associated with Latin agnus (“lamb”), which is why Saint Agnes is often depicted with a lamb. Due to her widespread veneration, the name spread throughout Christian Europe.
