Meaning and background
The story behind Agapi
Agapi is a Modern Greek given-name form related to the older Greek word agápē, “love”. Greek speakers do not pronounce its consonants exactly as an English speaker might expect from the spelling. As a call name it is melodic and distinctive; the sound has a genuine language history without needing any added symbolism.
