Comments for the name Aglaia

It is strange that this name means beauty when it sounds like the word uglier.

Aglaia is a genus of more than 100 species belonging to the Mahogany family.

Also used in Romania. Just google "Aglaia" - Romanian pages.

I'm not a fan of Aglaia, to be honest. It sounds like a snobby prep saying 'Ugly' to me. However, it's rather cute when a small child says it.

I once stayed in an apartment complex in Greece called Aglaia. :/

Aglaia Mortcheva is an artist, animator, character designer, and voice actress. She worked on shows like 'Rugrats', 'South Park', 'All Grown Up', and 'Making Fiends'.

This is occasionally used as a given name in Germany along with the variant Aglaja. Both of them would be pronounced ah-GLAH-yah. A famous bearer is German actress Aglaja Brix.

I think this is a lovely name, and it has a nice meaning.

According to this website on Greek names: http://www.greek-names.info/aglaia/

The name Aglaia is pronounced A-gla-eeah, which I would write as ə-GLAH-ee-ə.
