Agnes
Agnes is the Latinized version of the Greek name Hagnē, taken from 'hagnos', so the meaning of Agnes is 'pure' or 'unadulterated'. This name was used all the way back in the mid-fourth century, with Saint Agnes of Rome. St. Agnes holds the honor of being one of just seven female holy people (barring the Virgin Mary) who is remembered in the Canon of the Holy Mass. 'Agnus' is also the Latin word for 'sheep', so whenever Saint Agnes is drawn or painted, she is seen with a sheep close or in her arms. During the Middle Ages, the English initially interpreted Agnes as Annis. Today, the name Agnes is most popular in Scandinavia and in Spain.

1 symbolizes a pioneering spirit, independent nature, and innate leadership capabilities. On a bad day, 1 can be a bit bossy or boastful, hiding any insecurities behind over-developed self-importance. 1 must remember that although it is first, it can very quickly become the loneliest number. Even the most autonomous 1s need the support of their friends, family, and lovers.
