Yes, the articles Agatha, wife of Samuel and Kosara of Bulgaria refer to a same person! I don't know where the name Kosara is taken from, but the name of this women traditionally is given as Agatha in the history sources - see Vindobonensis historia.74! --

In contemporary Bulgaria, the name Agatha is popular as the name of the writer Agatha Christie. K. Ali 17:32, 27 January 2010 (UTC) —Preceding

The article makes clear that her being a daughter of Chryselios is not 100% certain, and at any rate, the family name is nowhere attested in connection with her. The only secure family link is her husband.

Requested move 6 December 2016
The following is a closed discussion of a
requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a
move review. No further edits should be made to this section.
Support move to parenthesized form. Her title as empress is uncertain, since she probably died before Samuel formally assumed the title of Tsar, and her notability is not such that a move to simple "Agatha" would be justified.

Oppose, a comma does not mean it is a royal title. This comma is a descriptive natural disambiguation, which is preferred over parenthetical disambiguation. The growing affection for unnatural parentheses is silly. --
