In Bulgaria the name has steady traditional use from the 19th century onward and is closely tied to Tsvetnitsa (Flower Day/Palm Sunday), when bearers of flower names celebrate their name day.

Common diminutives are Tsveti/Cveti. Zveta is sometimes chosen in the diaspora as a simplified transliteration. Note that it is distinct from Sveta, a separate name/diminutive of Svetlana meaning “light.” Overall, Zveta conveys the imagery of a flower in bloom - freshness, beauty, and vitality.
