Sveto is a village northwest of Komen in the Littoral region of Slovenia. Sveto was attested in written sources in 1347 as Suta. In the local dialect it is known as Sətu. The medieval inscriptions and the dialect name indicate that the modern Slovene name is a hypercorrection of *Suto, which is of unclear origin and may belong to a pre-Slavic substratum.
