Swedish names sound especially melodic and harmonious. They are unusual for the Slavic ear, but this does not become less attractive. Few people know, but the inhabitants of Sweden can not name children, guided by their desire. According to the laws of this Scandinavian country, its citizens have the right to name newborns only with officially registered names. There are about one thousand such in the state. The list is quite large, so there are plenty to choose from. But if parents want to name their child with some exotic name that is not included in the list of registered ones, then they need to get permission to do so in court.
Swedish names for the king's family
By tradition, in Sweden children are called double or triple names. But this is not the limit. Almost all representatives of the Swedish royal family have long names, consisting of four parts. For example, the monarch of this state was named at birth by Carl Gustav Folke Hubertus. The full names of his children sound no less unusual. The Swedish princesses are Victoria Ingrid Alice Desiree and Madeleine Terez Ameli Josefina, and the prince is Carl Philipp Edmund Bertil.
Features of swedish names
The main thing for the Swedes is the first name. He is chosen with special trepidation. Second and subsequent names are often given in honor of maternal or paternal relatives. This is the reverence by the Scandinavians of their ancestors.
All Swedish names are selected very carefully. They should not only sound beautiful, but also have a good interpretation. Many names in Sweden are associated with power, strength, courage, victory. They arose during the time of warlike Vikings, who spent almost their entire lives in endless battles. In addition, some of the names are associated with religion and nature.
