Meanings

A female given name: from a Greek word meaning “good.”.


Agatha, Agata, or Ágata is a feminine given name derived from the Ancient Greek word ἀγαθός (agathos), meaning good.
It was the name of St. Agatha of Sicily, a third-century Christian martyr. The name has been rarely used in English-speaking countries in recent years. It was last ranked among the top 1,000 names for girls born in the United States during the 1930s.


Fem. proper name, Latinized form of Greek Agathe, fem. of agathos "good, fit; gentle, noble" (of persons, opposed to kakoi), which is of unknown origin. Never a popular name in U.S., and all but unused there since 1940. The Greek adjective grew to include notions of wealthy, powerful, also "brave, good at fighting" (as qualities attributed to the Chiefs) as well as "good" in a moral sense. Also, of things, "serviceable, useful," and, abstractly, "the good."


From Greek name Agathe: good.
