Origin:Haitian
Meaning:Spirit of the sea
Agwe is a boy’s name of Haitian origin, borne by the Vodou god of waters, wind, thunder, boats, and seashells. Meaning “spirit of the sea,” Agwe speaks like waves on the sand and will complement baby’s dynamic soul. With an appellation that exudes the splendor of the ocean, your Agwe may develop an affinity for the beach. The god Agwe resided on an underwater island and ruled over the sea and all the creatures who dwelled within it. Fishermen and sailors also worked under Agwe’s protection. If your love for your little one is wider than the vast oceans, naming them Agwe could be a lovely way to let them know.
