Joveta

Joveta Name meanings & History

Variant of Jovita, meaning "dedicated to Jupiter". Possibly related to Jovita or Iveta. This was the name of a 12th-century princess of the Crusader kingdom of Jerusalem, who, because she had been captured by Turks as a child, was considered too tainted to make a suitable marriage and was sent off to become abbess of the convent at Bethany. Joveta was responsible for the education of her grandniece Queen Sibylla. The name Joveta is primarily used in the United States, but it can also be found in other English-speaking countries. It is a great name for parents looking for a unique and meaningful name for their daughter.
