What is the meaning of the name Agatka ?

Agatka is in Origin.

Agatka is the affectionate Polish diminutive of Agata, the local form of Agatha, from Greek Agathē (agathos, “good, kind”). The -ka ending is a common Slavic pet-name suffix suggesting warmth and youth; while used daily as a nickname, Agatka has also appeared on birth certificates in Poland and, with the accent as Agátka, in Czech and Slovak contexts. Its sense remains unchanged: a “good” or “kind” little Agata.

The name’s roots tie to the cult of Saint Agatha of Sicily (3rd century), which carried Agatha/Agata across Christian Europe. In Poland, Agatka shares the Agata name day on 5 February, and it gained extra visibility through the beloved 1960s children’s TV program Jacek i Agatka. Related forms include Agata, Agatha (English), Agathe (French/German), Ágata (Spanish/Portuguese), Agáta/Agátka (Czech/Slovak), and Greek Agathi. Common Polish diminutives alongside Agatka are Aga, Agusia, and Agatunia.
