The name was a very popular girls' name during the first half of the 20th century and today it's rising in popularity again. The name derives from the name of the tribe called "svear or swedes" who came to conquer the land which is today's Sweden. So the meaning of the name Svea is "Swede".​ Another Swedish word we are very fond of is Lagom. Lagom (pronounced [lah-gom]) is a Swedish word with no direct English equivalent, meaning "just the right amount". The archetypical Swedish proverb "Lagom är bäst", literally "The right amount is best", is translated as "Enough is as good as a feast". This viewpoint is often missed in our hyper-commercialized culture where more is always considered better. Sometimes more is just plain too much.
