Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) is an XML-based vector image format developed by the W3C for defining two-dimensional graphics. SVG images are scalable without loss of quality, searchable, indexable, and editable with text or vector graphics editors. Supported by all major browsers since 2011, SVG allows for interactivity and animation, and can be embedded directly in HTML documents.

The import has an extra options dialog:

you can switch between converting in full ODB Layer, creating an image layer or handle it as data layer with full zoom but without selection.
With Custom Name option you can switch the layer name to your own text and with unit it is possible to scale the layer.
