Agatha (given name)
Agatha also Agata, is a feminine given name derived from the Greek feminine name  (Agáthē; alternative form:  Agathḗ), which is a nominalized form of  (agathḗ), i.e. the feminine form of the adjective  (agathós) "good". It was the name of St. Agatha of Sicily, a third-century Christian martyr. Rarely has the name been given in English-speaking countries during recent years. Agatha was last ranked among the top 1,000 names for girls born in the United States during the 1930s. “Agatha” is a common name in Greece and countries that speak Germanic languages. Russian name
In Russian, the name "" (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 purposefully 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 (), Aga (), and Gata (). People
