Svea is a Scandinavian female given name that holds the meaning "Sweden." The name carries a strong association with the historical core of Sweden, Svealand, and the personification of Sweden, Mother Svea. It is also linked to various military units, such as the Svea Life Guards, and has been used to name several ships, including the Svea-class coastal defence ship and the MS Svea. Additionally, Svea is connected to companies like Rederi AB Svea and Svea Fireworks, as well as other entities such as the Svea Court of Appeal and the Order of Svea. The name also extends to scientific and technological domains with references to the Svea 123 liquid-fuel stove model and the SVEA (slowly varying envelope approximation) method in optics.
