What is the meaning of the name Agnetis ?

Agnetis is Greek in Origin.

Agnetis descends from Greek Hagnē (“pure, chaste”), carried into Latin as Agnes and popularized throughout Europe by the cult of 4th‑century Saint Agnes of Rome. In medieval Latin documents the genitive form Agnetis (“of Agnes”) is ubiquitous in liturgical phrases such as Sanctae Agnetis; in parts of Northern Europe that case-form occasionally passed into use as a given name or registry spelling. As Christianity spread, the name family flourished in parish records from the 12th to 17th centuries and saw periodic revivals in later antiquarian naming.

Meaning centers on purity and sacredness, with later folk association to Latin agnus (“lamb”) giving rise to lamb iconography. Close variants include Agnes, Agnès (French), Ágnes (Hungarian), Agnese (Italian/Latvian), Agneta (Swedish), Agnete/Agnethe (Danish–Norwegian), Agnieszka (Polish), Inés/Inês (Spanish/Portuguese), and Neža (Slovene).
