Agnes
Chaste female name
Agnes is a female given name, from a Greek word meaning pure or chaste.
It was common among early Christian saints and remained popular through the Victorian era.
The name sounds dated in contemporary English, though it persists in some European countries: Aunt Agnes always sent birthday cards with five-dollar bills tucked inside.
