Agapi is Greek in Origin.

Agapi (Αγάπη) is a Greek feminine given name meaning “love,” denoting the selfless, charitable love expressed by the New Testament term agápē and derived from the verb agapáō “to love.” As both a virtue and theological concept, it has long resonated in Greek and Eastern Christian contexts, where it signifies divine, unconditional love rather than romantic affection.

Documented among early Christians and borne by martyrs such as Saint Agape of Thessalonica (4th century), the name persisted in Greek usage and remains in steady use in Greece and Cyprus, while rare elsewhere. Variants and cognates include Agape (Latinized/English), Agapia or Agapiya (Romanian and Slavic forms), and related masculine names Agapios and Agapetus/Agapito. Common Greek endearments are Agapoula and Agapoula mou (“my little love”). The name connotes warmth, compassion, and steadfast benevolence - qualities parents often wish to bestow.
