Agnellus

Agnellus is a given name of Latin origin, derived from the word "agnus," meaning lamb. It is often associated with St. Agnes, a Roman virgin martyr of the early 4th century. The name has a long history of use in Christian cultures, particularly in Europe. Variations of Agnellus exist in different languages, such as Agnel in French and Agnello in Italian. Historically, the name has been borne by several figures, including saints, clergy, and nobility. While not as common as some other given names, Agnellus continues to be used today, often chosen for its religious connotations and classical roots. The symbolism of the lamb, associated with innocence, purity, and Christ, lends a gentle and spiritual quality to the name. Its usage has seen periods of greater and lesser popularity throughout history, reflecting broader naming trends.
