Aneszka is Czech, Polish in Origin.

Aneszka is a rare Central European form of the name Agnes, ultimately from Greek Hagnē meaning “pure, chaste,” Latinized as Agnes and later linked by folk etymology to agnus “lamb” in Christian symbolism. In the Czech and Slovak lands the name gained prominence through the medieval cult of St. Agnes of Prague (sv. Anežka Česká). The spelling Aneszka reflects a Polonized rendering of Czech/Slovak Anežka and a streamlined alternative to Polish Agnieszka, occasionally seen in cross-border contexts but uncommon in modern use.

Closely related variants include Agnieszka (Polish), Anežka (Czech/Slovak), Ágnes (Hungarian), Agnès (French), Agnese (Italian), Inés/Inês (Spanish/Portuguese), and Agnes (English, German, Scandinavian). Across traditions the name conveys the sense of purity and chastity, with enduring Christian imagery of innocence and the lamb. Contemporary use of Aneszka often signals bilingual heritage and a distinctive yet familiar Slavic sound.
