Meaning & Origin of Agnia
Meaning: Pure.
Origin: Russian (form of Agnes).
A common claim: Some lists give Agnia as meaning 'fire.' Actually: 'Fire' isn't supported by the name's actual root — Agnia derives from Agnes (Greek 'hagnē,' pure), not a word for fire (the mix-up may stem from confusion with the unrelated Sanskrit fire-god name Agni).
