What is the origin of Agatha?

Agatha is of Old Greek origin. It is used mainly in English, German, and Italian. Derived from the word agathos with the meaning 'kind, good'. An older form of the name is Agathon (Old Greek). The name was borne by a 3rd-century virgin martyr, known as the patron saint of bell-founders. She was supposed to have suffered the torture of having her breasts cut off, and subsequent paintings depicted her holding them on a platter, thereby associating her with bells due to the similarity in shape.
