Agness

Agness is a feminine given name, a variant spelling of Agnes. It derives from the Greek name hagnos, meaning pure or chaste, and has appeared in various languages and cultures. In English-speaking contexts, Agness has been used occasionally as a first name, though it remains relatively uncommon compared with Agnes or Anna.

Agness also refers to a place in the United States. Agness, Oregon, is an unincorporated community in Curry County. It lies along U.S. Route 199, commonly known as the Redwood Highway, near the Oregon–California border. As a small rural community, it serves as a gateway to surrounding natural areas in the Rogue River–Siskiyou region and the broader southwestern Oregon landscape.

Beyond these uses, the name Agness appears primarily in personal-name contexts and historical records rather than as a widely recognized place or organization. Variants and related names include Agnes, Angie, and Ann. For further study, see entries on the given name Agnes and its variants.
