Agnetta
ag-netta,
agne(t)-ta
Origin:Italian
Other Origin(s):Greek
Meaning:Pure, chaste
" Agnetta is a feminine name and an Italian variant of the Greek Agnes. Deriving from the Greek word hagnos, Agnetta means ""chaste"" or ""pure,"" two endearments that might just represent your little one's wide-eyed innocence and sense of wonder. Though this moniker is remarkably similar to Agneta, the Scandinavian form of Agnes, its -etta ending suggests different beginnings. In the Italian language, -etta is a diminutive suffix, so while Agnetta's exact roots aren't certain, it has a real Italian flair to it!"
