    The Story Behind Oanez

    Oanez is a Breton name, a regional language spoken in Brittany, France. It is the Breton equivalent of the Latin name Agnes. The name Agnes itself derives from the Greek word 'hagnos', meaning 'chaste' or 'holy'. The association with 'lamb' comes from a folk etymology linking Agnes to the Latin word 'agnus', meaning 'lamb', which became popular due to Saint Agnes, a virgin martyr often depicted with a lamb.
