History and Origin
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 Saint 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.
English: Latinized version of the Greek name Agathē, from the feminine form of the adjective agathos good, honourable. This was the name of a Christian saint popular in the Middle Ages; she was a Sicilian martyr of the 3rd century who suffered the fate of having her breasts cut off. According to the traditional iconography, she is depicted holding them on a platter. In some versions they look more like loaves, leading to the custom of blessing bread on her feast day (5 February). The name was revived in the 19th century, but has faded again since.
