help!
i am very very confused about my name, which is Agniya. i know that it is based of Agnes. i am mainly of russian descent, as well as of ukrainian, belrussian, and latvian. a serch engine somewhere told me that my name is of Lithunian background. i know that it means "pure" since it's a version of Agnes, but i'm still confused... i have found of like one person in the world with this name, which is the soviet poetess Agniya Barto.oh, i'm female. if anyone has any info on my name, has ever heard of it, knows someone who has this name, etc, please please tell me!

Agniya is derived from (and pronounced *exactly* as) the Greek "hagneia".
