History & Origin

Maryagnes is plainly a compound of two names run together, in the Catholic tradition that also gives Maryann, Maryjane and Marylou. Mary is the English form of Hebrew Miriam; Agnes comes from the Greek hagnos, 'chaste, pure, holy,' and belongs to Saint Agnes, an early Roman martyr whose emblem became a lamb through the chance resemblance of her name to Latin agnus. The joined name is a devotional pairing, and we present it as such (said 'MAIR-ee-ag-nes').

It appears only in very small numbers in the U.S. Rare, devotional, and old-fashioned.

Did you know? Agnes comes from the Greek hagnos, 'pure' - and because it sounds like the Latin agnus, 'lamb,' the saint has been pictured with a lamb for centuries.
