What is the meaning of the name Agnellie ?

Agnellie is in Origin.

Agnellie is a rare feminine given name formed on Romance roots: Latin agnellus "little lamb" passed into Old French as agnel/agnelle and Italian as agnello/agnella. The name therefore carries the sense of "little lamb," evoking gentleness, innocence, and - by Christian association with the Agnus Dei - devotional purity. Through centuries, Agnes has been folk-linked to the same lamb imagery, so Agnellie can also be read as a soft, affectionate elaboration parallel to Agnes.

Documented use is sparse, with occasional appearances in Francophone and Anglophone records from the 19th–20th centuries, following the era’s taste for -ie diminutives ending in a sweet, lilting vowel. Variants and cognates include Agnella (Italian), Agnelle (French), Agnélie/Agnelie (French rare), Agnellina (Italian diminutive), and the related surnames Agnelli and Agnello; Agnes and Annelie are near-sound neighbors rather than strict variants. Nicknames may be Aggie, Nella, or Nellie.
