Agamedes is Greek in Origin.

Agamedes is a masculine given name from Ancient Greek Ἀγαμήδης (Agamēdēs), built from agan “very, exceedingly” and mēdomai “to plan, devise,” yielding senses such as “great in counsel,” “very prudent,” or “master planner.” In Greek myth, Agamedes, with his brother Trophonius, is credited with major works including the temple of Apollo at Delphi and the cunning treasury of Hyrieus, so the name connotes craftsmanship, strategy, and sagacity.

Usage beyond antiquity is rare. Humanist and Neoclassical tastes sporadically revived Agamedes in early modern Europe, but it has never been common and remains largely a literary choice. Variants and related forms include the scholarly Agamēdēs, the Latinized Agamedes, and the feminine counterpart Agamede (Ἀγαμήδη). Diminutives are uncommon; Mede or Aga may occur informally.
