Zlata is Slavic in Origin.

Zlata is a Slavic feminine name meaning “golden” or “made of gold,” from the root zlat-/zlato (Common Slavic for “gold”). Used in both Latin and Cyrillic scripts (Злата), it carries connotations of preciousness and warmth across South and East Slavic languages; compare the Czech/Slovak adjective zlatá and the South Slavic noun zlato.

The name is recorded in Bulgaria, Serbia, Croatia, Bosnia, North Macedonia, Ukraine, and Russia, with Saint Zlata of Maglen (18th century martyr) anchoring its Balkans prominence. It also occurs among Ashkenazi Jews, paralleling Yiddish Golda; Yiddish diminutives include Zlate and Zlatke. Modern revival in Eastern Europe has boosted its rankings since the 2000s. Variants and diminutives include Zlatka, Zlatina, Zlatica, Zlatinka, and Zlatuše; rare Polish-influenced Złota appears regionally. Masculine relatives are Zlatan and Zlatko; a semantic cognate is Aurelia.
