History & Origin
Loveta reached a small number of girls in the early twentieth century, with a quiet high around 1918. It reads as a sentiment name, spun from the word love, part of a broad fashion for affectionate coinages with -etta and -eta endings.
It was never common, given to only a couple dozen girls a year at its peak, and had faded by mid-century. A girl named Loveta then would be past a hundred today. The name keeps a sweet, plainspoken charm and has not returned.
