Agavva

Agavva (Russian: Ага́вва) is an old and rare[1] Russian Christian male first name.[2] It is supposedly derived from the Biblical Hebrew word hāgāb, meaning locust.[2][1]

Its diminutives are Aga (А́га),[2] Agakha (Ага́ха), and Agasha (Ага́ша).[1]

The patronymics derived from "Agavva" are "Ага́ввич" (Agavvich; masculine) and "Ага́ввична" (Agavvichna; feminine).[1]
