What is the meaning of the name Agney ?

The baby name Agney is a Male name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced /ˈɑːɡneɪ/ (AG-nay) — also sometimes pronounced /ˈɑgni/ (AG-nee).

Agney is Hindu, Sanskrit in Origin.

Agney is a modern transliteration of Sanskrit Agneya (अग्नेय), derived from Agni, the Vedic god of fire; the suffix -eya/-ya forms a patronymic/adjectival meaning “of Agni,” “son of Agni,” or “fiery.” Related forms appear across Indo-European languages through the shared root for fire, linking Sanskrit agni with Latin ignis and Lithuanian ugnis. In Vedic liturgy, the dative Agnaye (“to Agni”) is frequent, which has influenced modern spellings like Agney.

Once an honorific epithet rather than a personal name, Agney has gained currency in contemporary India and the diaspora as a rare, mostly masculine given name, interpreted as “born from fire” or “southeastern,” echoing Agneya as the southeast direction. Variants and transliterations include Agneya, Aagneya, and Agneyi (a feminine form); short forms include Agni or Ney. Pronounced AG-nay or AAG-nay, it conveys vitality, purity, and transformative energy.
