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.
