Agnès name meaning

Good evening everybody! I hope you did have a fantastic Valentines Day with your love ones and took time to eat chocolate!  On tonight’s post, I will continue with Agnès name meaning. Agnes is a Greek name meaning “pure” or “holy”. The name passed to Italian as Agnese, to Portugues as Inês, and to Spanish, as Inés. This old name was in fact widely popular due to the fact that it was also the name of a famous Christian saint, Saint Agnes of Rome. Also for more than 400 years,  Agnes was the third most popular name for women in the English speaking world, especially in the Middle Ages.

I know, many of you think this name does not suit her, due to  her “African” look, but when I created her, I though of Haitian women…and let’s not forget that most Haitian names are French ones do the the mix of some our ancestors and French colonization! Thank you for reading and will see each other soon!
