Agatha (/ˈæɡəθə/), 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.
In Russian, the name "Ага́та" (Agata) was borrowed from the Western European languages, and derives from the same Ancient Greek root from which older names Agafya and Agafa also come. Its masculine version is Agat. In 1924–1930, the name was included into various Soviet calendars, which included the new and often artificially created names promoting the new Soviet realities and encouraging the break with the tradition of using the names in the Synodal Menologia.
Its diminutives include Agatka (Ага́тка), Aga (А́га), and Gata (Га́та).
