Sweden Origin and Meaning

The name Sweden is a girl's name meaning "Swede, one's own tribe".

You may be surprised to learn 73 girls have been named Sweden since the 2000s. Appearing sporadically in the US name stats over the last twenty years, the name derives from the Old Norse Svíar which may come from an even older word meaning "one's own tribe".

Not used since 2020, it could have potential thanks to its similarity to Eden.
