Old Swedish Girl Names
As the nature of Sweden is changeable and rich in contrasts, so are Swedish names diverse and multifaceted. In their sound, you can hear the echoes of harsh Scandinavian ballads, and the singing of the northern winds over snowy Lapland. In the homeland of the Viking Normans and the merry fellow Carlson, there are about 340 thousand names. Traditional and modern, original and international Swedish names – these are exactly what we will talk about today.
The list of Swedish female names includes about 180 thousand variants and consists of a wide variety of names: primordially national, ancient Scandinavian and Germanic, Christian and biblical, modern European and new names.
The old names of the Swedes go back to the times of Greek mythology. The names of that era come from the names of mythical characters, plants and animals and natural phenomena, for example:
· Disa – “priestess of fate”
· Alva – “elf”
· Nope – “double flower”
· Ulva – “she-wolf”
· Tova – “thunder”
· Thorhilda – “Battle of Thor”
· Ingvild – “warrior Inga”
Starting from the 10th century, Christianity began to spread gradually in the country, along with religious names of various origins. The Swedes adopt some of the names from other languages already in an adapted version; some are formed from similar male names:
· Agnetta (from the Greek name Agnes – “pure, immaculate”)
· Michaela – from the male name Mikael, the analogue of the Hebrew Michael – “like God”)
· Karin, Katina, Kaya, Kaya – on behalf of Katarina (German version of the Greek name Ekaterina – “pure”)
· Ilse – from Elizabeth, form of the Hebrew name Elizabeth, “God is my oath”).
Many have an Old Norse or Old Germanic basis, such as-
· Friedeborg – from the ancient German name Friedeburg, “keeper of the world”
· Yurun – formed from the Scandinavian words “leader, ruler” and “give, bestow”
The names of the Swedes are beautiful, melodic, have a positive meaning and a pronounced northern character. The era of the Vikings with incessant wars left an imprint not only on male, but partly on female names. Among the Scandinavian names there are also many sonorous variants with deep meaning or names that are in the nature of wishes, for example:
· Bathilda – “fiery battle”
· Gunilla – “military battle”.
· Auda – “very rich”
· Ottali – “rich”
· Astrid – “beloved of God”
· Ashlog – “God’s Bride”
Beautiful variants of names are often borrowed from different peoples and cultures:
· Lovisa (from male Lovis – analogue of French Louis)
· Arabic name Dahlia – “Valley of Flowers”
· English name Julia with Latin roots – “from the Julian clan”
· Latin name Olivia – “olive”
· Norwegian name Asta – “love”
Christian pan-European MARIA, ANNA AND CHRISTINA have remained popular Swedish female names for many centuries in a row.
Variants popular in Europe are widespread: ALICE, LILY.
The Swedes do not forget about their roots, therefore, the ancient Scandinavian names FREYA, ASTRID AND SAGA are in demand today.
Abbreviated forms of various names that have become independent are also actively used: ELSA – FROM ELIZABETH, ELLA – FROM GABRIELLA, ELEANOR.
Recently, beautiful double names have become fashionable: ANNE-CHRISTINE, ROSE-MARIE, ETC.
Swedish girl names are very diverse today. Parents strive to choose a sonorous name with a good meaning for a newborn, and use both traditional national, Christian names and modern ones of various origins. Despite the huge number of options, you can only choose from a list of officially allowed names. Otherwise, court permission must be obtained.
