Agavah is a modern feminine name rooted in the Greek Agavē (Agauē), borne by a Theban princess in myth and derived from agauos, “noble, illustrious.” The same Greek root inspired Linnaeus to name the agave plant, which lends the name a sleek botanical echo. The -ah ending aligns it with contemporary English and Hebrew-influenced naming styles, giving a familiar shape to a rare classical base.

Variants and related forms include Agave, Agava, Agauë, and the Latinate Agavia; plausible short forms are Ava, Aggie, and Gavi. The core meaning remains “noble” or “illustrious,” suggesting distinction and brightness. Though globally rare, the name resonates across classics, botany, and modern trends, making Agavah a distinctive yet meaningful choice.
