Scandinavian names This page is about personal names used in the Scandinavian countries. Although Finland is geographically a part of Scandinavia, Finnish is unrelated to the Scandinavian languages, and this list does not include Finnish names or Finnish forms of these names, nor does it include forms used in other languages.
In the lists below, countries where these forms are used are abbreviated as
- D: Denmark
- F: Faroe Islands
- I: Iceland
- N: Norway
- S: Sweden
In some cases the corresponding form used by the other gender is added as "(m: __)" or "(f: __)".
