Agnus is a girl's name of Latin origin. You will often find the Greek version Agnes popping up as a more popular diminutive of this traditional name. Agnus captures the purity and innocence of childhood and means "pure" or "chaste." In keeping with this youthful theme, it is the Latin word for "lamb" and is a symbolic given name for those who practice Christianity. It is hard not to compare the universal cuteness of lambs with baby's endless adorability, making Agnus a fitting choice for your precious little lamb!
