A name that means "good, kind".

Agathe is the French form of Agatha, from the Greek agathos, meaning good and kind. It is a name that simply wishes goodness on the child who bears it.

In modern France, Agathe has become fashionable again — crisp, elegant and a little vintage.

Warm in meaning and refined in sound, it is a quietly lovely choice.

Good and kind — a chic French classic.

Where Agathe stands.

Agathe does not currently appear in the US Social Security Administration's top 1,000 girls' names, so we don't publish a US rank or birth count for it. That says nothing about the name's standing elsewhere in the world — only that it sits outside the ranked US data we rely on.
