Sun, sunlight, or a ray of light
Sveya is a rare name of Sanskrit origin, often associated with the radiance of the sun. It is sometimes considered a variation of the name Shveya or Shreya, though it maintains its own distinct identity in modern usage. In some contexts, it is also linked to Scandinavian roots as a variant of Svea, the personification of Sweden.
