Agius is a surname of uncertain origin, common in Malta. Its origins may lie in the ancient Etyptian language, via Arabic, hagg or hajj, ^[1] but is thought to be a Latinisation of the Greek agios ( Ancient Greek hagios), meaning "saintly" or "holy". ^[2] It was found in Britain after the Norman Conquest in 1066, used as a baptismal name, a variation of Agace. ^[3]
