Aglika is Bulgarian in Origin.

Aglika is a South Slavic feminine name, most common in Bulgaria, derived from Greek Aglaia/Aglaea, meaning “splendor, beauty,” from aglaos “bright, shining.” Adopted through the Orthodox and Church Slavonic naming tradition, it is written Аглика and typically pronounced ah-GLEE-kah. The sense of radiance and graceful allure underpins the name’s semantics across languages.

In Bulgarian use since at least the late 19th and early 20th centuries, Aglika appears in Orthodox calendars honoring St. Aglaia of Rome and remains uncommon yet recognizable; one modern bearer is the Bulgarian pianist Aglika Genova. International variants include Aglaia (Greek/English), Aglaea (Latinized), Aglaya (Russian and also used in Bulgarian), and Aglaé (French). The name should not be confused with the Bulgarian botanical given name Iglika (“primrose”), which is etymologically unrelated. Overall, Aglika conveys brightness, elegance, and classical charm.
