Writing Adolescent Fiction/Character names/Scandinavian
Usage note
[edit | edit source]Swedes, Danes and Norwegians use these modern Scandinavian names, which are mostly interchangeable between countries. Icelanders use these as well as the old Norse forms. There are spelling variations with the accents, so that Swedes use ö where Danes and Norwegians use ø and other countries use aa where Swedish names use å.
In Sweden, Norway and Denmark today, surnames stay the same from generation to generation, but until 1860 the Danish would use their father's first name followed by “-sen” or “-datter” (Erik Olsen's children would be Lars Eriksen and Kirsten Eriksdatter, rather than using the surname Olsen). In Norway, this tradition lasted till the 1920s, when it was outlawed. Names ending in -son are more common in Sweden, while names ending in -sen are more common in Norway and Denmark. In Iceland, surnames are still determined by one's father's given name, and followed by “-son” or “-dóttir”, so even today Ivar Hermansson’s children would be Gunnar Ivarsson and Helga Ivarsdóttir. In Iceland, names with “th” in them are usually spelt with a special Icelandic character Þ, instead of the English “th”. In the Scandinavian languages, names in -quist are sometimes written with “kvist” (Dahlkvist, Cederkvist), or even occasionally “qvist” (Dahlqvist, Cederqvist), but it is almost always changed to “quist” (Dahlquist, Cederquist) abroad.
If interested in Icelandic names then these lists below do not give the whole picture, because there are some special Icelandic endings (like -ur), characters (like Þ, ð and æ) and accent aigus (over a-á,e-é,i-í,o-ó,u-ú) missing in the spelling.
