Agatta Origin and Meaning

The name Agatta is a girl's name.

Agatta is a feminine name that represents a variant spelling of Agatha, which derives from the Greek word 'agathos' meaning 'good' or 'kind.' This spelling variation maintains the historical essence of the original while offering a slightly softer, more modern appearance with the double 't.' The name carries connotations of goodness, virtue, and benevolence from its Greek origins. Historically, Saint Agatha of Sicily, a 3rd-century martyr, brought prominence to the name. While the Agatha spelling has been more common throughout history, the Agatta variant offers a subtle distinction. This name appears across various European cultures, with particular presence in Eastern European regions. Though never reaching high popularity rankings in recent decades, Agatta appeals to parents seeking a name with classical roots and an elegant, slightly unusual character.
