Does anyone know the origin of the Lithuanian female name Liveta?

Does the sea exist
Because of our longing?

This Lithuanian name site (Lithu-name-ian, if I may) speculates it is from Liva, a short form of Livija, which I think is slightly more credible, and there appear to be Lithuanian bearers of the name Livija upon a Google search.

This site also connects Liveta to Livija.

Livija appears to be the Lithuanian feminine form of Livius.

Is there any reason that it wouldn't be a variation of OLIVETTE?

Doesn't seem likely. Don't think Lithuanians would import a rather obscure French name.
Could it be short for Elisaveta, perhaps?
