Origin:Swiss
Other Origin(s):Greek
Meaning:Pure; Holy
Holy moly, this is an adorable name! Agnetta is a feminine moniker of Greek origins. As a variant of Agnes, Agnetta has all the makings of a classic name. Meaning “pure” or “holy,” your little cherub is sure to suit this name perfectly, with their wide-eyed innocence and sense of wonder. The name is particularly popular in Switzerland amongst the Swiss people, providing your little one with a connection to this beautiful country. This is most likely due to Greece’s cultural influence on Switzerland, and the historical ties between the two countries—for example, Switzerland was a staunch supporter of Greece’s uprising during Ottoman rule and also during the Second World War. While this particular spelling might be a hidden gem, you might recognize this name from the likes of ABBA singer Agnetha Fältskog, or Swedish model Agneta Frieberg.
