Agneya (आग्नेया, IAST: āgneyā) is a Sanskrit-origin Hindu girl-name meaning “Of fire; the daughter of Agni”. Feminine of āgneya (of fire); fire-born, fire-blessed.
Meaning, etymology & significance
Agneya (आग्नेया) is the feminine form of āgneya — "of fire, fire-related, daughter of Agni." In Vedic tradition Agni is the central deity of yajna; his daughters are the various Vedic-fire goddesses associated with sacrificial flames.
The compass-direction āgneya corner (southeast) is also the direction of Agni in vāstu-shāstra — and the corner where the kitchen-fire traditionally stands. A daughter named Agneya is therefore named with this entire Vedic fire-direction tradition.
The name is uncommon in 2026 but unmistakably Vedic. It pairs especially well with classical Brahmanic surnames.
Pronunciation: aag-NAY-yaa. Pair with traditional surnames where the Vedic depth is welcome.
Astrology — nakshatra & rashi
By the standard Vedic correspondence between the first syllable of a name and the lunar mansion (nakshatra), Agneya aligns with the Krittika nakshatra, under the Mesha rashi (Moon sign).
