Meaning & History
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.
