What is the meaning of the name Aga ?

The baby name Aga is a girl name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced AH-guh.

Aga is Greek, Persian, Polish, Turkish in Origin.

Aga has two separate etymological routes. In Polish it is a clipped diminutive of Agata and Agnieszka: Agata continues Greek Agathē, the feminine of agathos, good, while Agnieszka reflects Greek Hagnē, from hagnos, chaste or sacred, later folk-associated with Latin agnus, lamb. A second line belongs to Persian āghā, lord, master, borrowed into Turkish as ağa.

As a given name, Aga is most familiar in Poland as an informal female short form, borne for example by singer Aga Zaryan. In Ottoman and later Turkish contexts, ağa functioned chiefly as a title for commanders, landholders, and household officials, and it appears in names and honorific compounds such as Aga Khan. Modern use as an independent birth name is modest and regionally specific.
