What is the meaning of the name Agnola ?

Agnola is Italian in Origin.

Agnola is a rare Italian feminine given name rooted in the Tuscan/Florentine form Agnolo, an older dialectal equivalent of Angelo. The lineage ultimately traces to Greek angelos, 'messenger,' hence the meaning 'angelic.' In Italian ears, Agnola also echoes the Agnes family (Agnese), long linked by folk etymology to Latin agnus, 'lamb,' so the name carries blended imagery of angelic protection with innocence and purity.

Documented in central Italian records from the late medieval and Renaissance periods, Agnola was always uncommon and was gradually eclipsed by standardized Angela and the diminutives Angiola and Angiolina. Modern use is rare but distinctive, especially for families honoring Tuscan roots. Variants and cognates include Angela, Angiola, Angiolina, Angèle (French), Ángela (Spanish), Ângela (Portuguese), Aniela (Polish), and, on the Agnes side, Agnese and Inés/Inês.
