A proper name, historically common in English-speaking cultures, often associated with the lamb symbolism in Christian tradition.
From Latin 'Agnes,' connected to 'agnus' meaning lamb. Saint Agnes became venerated in early Christianity, and the name spread widely through Christian Europe and beyond.
Saint Agnes is always depicted with a lamb in art because her name literally means 'lamb,' but also because she represents gentleness and innocence—layers of meaning built into a single name across centuries.
