Aggi is in Origin.

Aggi is a cheerful short form used across several languages, chiefly as a diminutive of Agnes and Agatha. As a derivative of Agnes (Greek Hagnē), it carries the sense of “pure” or “chaste”; when linked to Agatha (Greek Agathē, from agathos), it conveys “good,” “kind,” or “noble.” The spelling with final -i reflects North and Central European hypocoristics, paralleling English Aggie and Hungarian Ági.

Nicknaming patterns made Aggi common in Scandinavian and German-speaking contexts, and it appears in English as a streamlined variant of Aggie. While primarily a pet name through the 19th and early 20th centuries - buoyed by the popularity of St. Agnes and St. Agatha - it is occasionally bestowed as an independent given name today. Related forms and cognates include Agnes, Agnès, Inés/Inès (from Agnes), Agata, Agathe, Agnieszka, Ágnes; diminutive variants include Aggie, Aggy, Agi, and Ági.
