Aglaé Origin and Meaning

The name Aglaé is a girl's name meaning "splendour, beauty".

An international form of the Greek Aglaia, Aglaé is associated with the Three Graces in Greek mythology. With a hint of clunkiness but plenty of splendour too, Aglaé was moderately popular in France in the early 20th century though it has been out of the charts since 1917.

Notable bearers of the name include the 19th century court official Aglaé Auguié, noble woman Charlotte Aglaé d'Orléans, and the 18th century enamellist and painter Aglaé Cadet.
