Fleta Origin and Meaning

The name Fleta is a girl's name.

Fleta is a feminine name with Latin origins meaning 'flat region' or 'level ground.' This rare vintage name appeared occasionally in the early 20th century, particularly in rural America, but has since become exceedingly uncommon. Fleta has musical qualities with its flowing sound and may appeal to parents seeking a distinctive alternative to more popular names like Flora or Fleta. In Roman mythology, Fleta was a minor river goddess, adding a subtle mythological dimension to the name. Though never widely popular, Fleta experienced a small peak in usage around the 1910s before gradually fading from use by the mid-century.
