Sveto

Sveto (; ) is a village northwest of Komen in the Littoral region of Slovenia.
Name.
Sveto was attested in written sources in 1347 as "Suta" (and as "ze Nider/Obern Zawtt" in 1485, "Szawt" in 1494, and "Sutta" in 1763–87). In the local dialect it is known as "Sətu". The medieval inscriptions (including the Middle High German forms with "" < "ū") 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.
Mass grave.
Sveto is the site of a mass grave from the period immediately after the Second World War. The Preserje Cave Mass Grave () is located between Sveto and Ivanji Grad. It contains the remains of a large number of unidentified people scattered across the entire rubble-covered slope of the shaft.
Church.
The local church is dedicated to Saint Giles and belongs to the Parish of Komen.
