| Name Meaning: |
Italian form of the Greek Agathe, which is derived from agathos (good, kind, honorable). The name became popular through the fame of St. Agata, a young Christian martyr of the 3rd century. After spurning the advances of the Roman consul Quintinianus, she was ultimately tortured and her breasts were cut off before she was killed. She is often pictured carrying her two breasts on a plate, and because they were mistaken for bells, she became the patron saint of the bell ringers |
