Agotha Origin and Meaning

The name Agotha is a girl's name of Hungarian origin.

Agotha is a feminine name with Hungarian origins, believed to be a variant of Agatha, which comes from the Greek word 'agathos' meaning 'good.' The Hungarian variation adds a distinctive cultural touch to the classic name. Historically, Saint Agatha of Sicily, a 3rd-century martyr, helped spread the name throughout Christian Europe. The Hungarian form has remained relatively uncommon even in Hungary and is quite rare internationally. The name carries connotations of goodness, virtue, and inner strength, reflecting its etymological roots. With its soft sounds and ending in 'a,' Agotha maintains a feminine quality while offering a unique alternative to the more common Agatha, appealing to parents seeking names with historical depth and cultural specificity.
