Cveta (Cyrillic Цвета) is a South Slavic feminine given name meaning “flower” or “blossom,” from Proto-Slavic *cvětŭ and the verb “to bloom” (cvesti). It is common in Bulgaria - often transliterated as Tsveta and pronounced TSVEH-tah - and also occurs in North Macedonia and Serbia, with occasional use in Slovenia and Croatia. The name is closely tied to springtime customs; in Bulgaria, bearers celebrate their name day on Palm Sunday (Tsvetnitsa/Flower Day), when all flower-names are honored.

Records show steady use since the 19th century, favored during national revivals for its folk-natural imagery and continuing today in modest numbers alongside a broader revival of nature names. Variants and related forms include Tsveta, diminutives Tsveti/Cveti, and elaborations Cvetka, Cvetana, Cvetanka, Tsvetelina/Cvetelina, and Cvetoslava. Cognates appear across Slavic languages (e.g., Czech květ “flower”). Not to be confused with Sveta, a Russian nickname for Svetlana (“light”), which is etymologically unrelated.
