Agapita is a unique and distinctive given name, derived from the Latin 'agape', meaning love or charity. It was popularized during the Middle Ages and is often associated with early Christian martyrs. The name Agapita carries an air of warmth and compassion, reflecting its roots in love and kindness.
The name Agapita appears to have had periods of popularity with peaks in the early 20th century, particularly around the years 1920 and 1928 when more than 20 babies were named Agapita each year. However, it seems to have fallen out of favor by the mid-20th century as there were only a few births per year from the 1940s onwards.
