Agnelli (family name)
Agnelli is a family name that is common in Italy and Italian-speaking Switzerland. In Italian or Latin, the name means roughly: " Lämmer , Schäfchen", as the diminutive plural of Agnus . This points to an agricultural and Catholic religious (“ Agnus Dei ”) background.
The singular Agnello , which (like the Latin form Agnellus ) is also used as a male first name, exists as a variant of the family name.
