      The name Fleta, originating from the English language, carries the intrinsic meaning of Swift. This distinguished appellation traces its roots back to the early medieval period when names began to convey specific qualities or attributes. The name Fleta, with its inherent sense of speed and agility, gained prominence during an era when such traits were held in high regard. It symbolized an individual who possessed remarkable quickness, both physically and intellectually.
