Tsveto

Tsveto is a masculine given name of Slavic origin, used primarily in Bulgaria and parts of the former Yugoslavia. In Cyrillic, it is written Цвето. The name can function as a standalone given name or appear as a hypocoristic form for longer names such as Tsvetan or Tsvetomir. It is also occasionally found as a surname, though with lower frequency.

Etymology: Tsveto derives from the root tsvet- meaning "flower" or "blossom" in several Slavic languages; the imagery of flowers and spring is common in names with this root. The form Цвето is the standard transliteration into Latin script for many Bulgarian speakers.

Usage: The name is relatively uncommon outside its regional sphere, and there are no widely known historical or contemporary figures with international prominence bearing the name Tsveto. In literature and media, Tsveto may appear as a fictional character, particularly in works dealing with Bulgarian or Slavic settings.

Variants and related names: Related masculine names include Tsvetan and Tsvetomir, while feminine forms include Tsveta and Tsvetana. The root is also found in other names such as Cvetko in some South Slavic languages.
