Agafia is extremely dated, no one uses it nowadays.
I wonder if Agafya and Agata are dated for Russian's like Agata is for English speakers, looking for bearers I found Agafya Mikailovna from Anna Karenina and Agafya Lykova, a hermitess who's in her 70s. Definitely rare for sure.
This is pretty interesting. I can't decide whether I like it or not yet.
Agata form, is more popular in Russia than Agafya.
Agafya Grushetskaya (1663-1681) was the first wife of Tsar Feodor III of Russia. Sadly, she died in childbirth at the age of eighteen, giving birth to a son who died as well.
A variant transcription of Agafya is Agaphya.
Once again, Agaphya must be a ridiculously uncommon transcription. It looks silly and is not used. Due to the nature of Russian, I can only think of Agaphya in an archaic situation or a situation where a Russian text or name has been translated weirdly or through several languages.Pronounced a-gahf-yah without a huge emphasis on the middle. It is nowadays uncommon but found in older demographics.
This is cute, and very obviously Russian. Would make an excellent name for a fictional character.
