Aggie is in Origin.

Aggie is an affectionate English short form of Agnes and, less often, Agatha, now sometimes used independently. Through Agnes it ultimately comes from Greek hagnos, “pure, chaste,” transmitted via Latin and Old French; through Agatha it relates to Greek agathos, “good.” Long familiar in Britain (especially Scotland as a pet name for Agnes) and the United States, Aggie carries a warm, vintage tone with straightforward charm.

Its use grew from medieval devotion to Saints Agnes and Agatha, blossomed as a pet form in the Victorian and Edwardian eras, then waned before recent revival as a nickname-name. Spelling variants include Aggy and Aggi. Related international forms of the root names include Agnes (English), Agnès (French), Ágnes (Hungarian), Agnieszka (Polish), Inés/Inês/Inez (Spanish/Portuguese/English from Agnes), Agatha (English), Agathe (French/German), and Agata (Italian/Polish). As a diminutive, Aggie suggests either “pure” or “good,” depending on its source.
