Agios (Template:Lang-el or in polytonic script Ἅγιος; also transliterated as Ayios, Aghios, Hagios) meaning Holy or Sacred or often about people or places named after people, Saint, is equivalent in many cases only to the English-language adjective Saint. For example, St. John is known in Greek and related languages as Άγιος Ιωάννης, Agios Ioannis.
Agios/Ayios/Aghios is a common part in the names of places in Greece and Cyprus.

A shortened or colloquial non inflected form of Άγιος is Άι or Άη, both transliterated as Ai; hence e.g. the island Άγιος Ευστράτιος is also colloquially called Ai Stratis , Template:Lang-el , Στράτης being a shortened form of Eustratios, Template:Lang-el.
Coptic Language
Agios is also used in the Coptic Language to express the same meaning as in Greek.
