I’m Norwegian, and I don’t know anyone named «Liv». But I suppose it still makes sense if it’s a country-wide study. I haven’t met 1/1000 of the people living in this country, after all :P
@@DillaryHuff There's a difference between "huh, I've never met anyone named this" and "this is supposedly the fourth most common one yet it doesn't even sound like a real name wtf" though. In this case, Atero is distinctly in the latter category.
@@sanderboks5348 Har sett flere som heter det, jeg også. Jeg sier ikke at det ikke er et normalt navn, men det overrasket meg at det er oppført som det fjerde mest populære navnet. Kjenner som sagt ingen som heter det, selv.
@@HeapOfBones I get what you're saying. And don't get me wrong, Liv isn't an uncommon name here. It's a fairly normal name, but based on my experience, it had it's heyday during the 70s and 80s and is not very popular anymore. Hence, my surprise when I saw it was listed as the fourth most common one. I hear the name on extremely rare occasions, but it seems like a very rare name these days. I think I've heard it 2-3 times over the past 15-20 years. I typically associate it with women who are 50 years+.
Those Finnish statistics contain middle names too. I'm almost certain those are not the most common first names. They seem more like middle names to me, the only exceptions being Maria and Johanna.
Niinhän minä sanoin? :D Niihin tilastoihin lasketaan kaikki nimet sukunimeä lukuunottamatta. Suomessa ei tehdä pesäeroa niin sanotun oikean etunimen (kutsumanimi) ja muiden etunimien välille, mutta englanninkielisissä maissa etunimellä viitataan nimenomaan kutsumanimeen.
Tyynymyy Millä ei ole oikeastaan tasan yhtään mitään väliä. Henkilön kutsumanimi voi olla mikä tahansa enintään kolmesta annetusta etunimestä. Esimerkiksi kaksi sisarustani eivät kumpikaan käytä ensimmäistä nimeään, vaan toista. Tunnen myös henkilön jonka kutsumanimi on etunimistä kolmas.
@@wardeni9603 Ei, sillä just on väliä: se nimen omaan vääristää tilastoa: toisten nimien perinne on aivan erilainen, paljon konservatiisisempi ja rajallisempi. Eri tilastot olis tarpeen. Vaikka niin että s eotettaisiin siitä mikä on kutsumanimi, joka yleensä on se (varsinainen) etunimi.
@@timomastosalo ei sillä kyllä ole väliä, edelleenkin kutsumanimi voi olla mikä tahansa kolmesta annetusta nimestä, eli kyseiset nimet ovat kaikki etunimiä. Suomessa ei ole mitään "keskinimiä" tai muuta turhaa paskaa.
Eric Petit yeah I’m 12.5% Swedish/Norwegian according to ancestry, and most of my Swedish/Norwegian ancestors had surnames ending in either son,sen,berg, and dottir. Surnames like Andersson, Hansen, Hjelle, Olafsdottir, Engberg etc... Most of them migrated to the Midwestern United States to Minnesota and Wisconsin. Those states are straight up Scandinavian! Even the football team for Minnesota are called the “Vikings”.
Not to mention those statistics also contain middle names. Most of those names seem more like middle names to me. Maria and Johanna are pretty common first names though.
Since you were talking about where all other nordic countries surnames derive from, heres a fun fact about the Finnish ones; the majority of surnames come from nature-related words, such as Virta/Virtanen= stream, Mäki/Mäkelä/Mäkinen= hill, Niemi/Nieminen= penninsula, Järvinen/Järvelä= lake, Lahti/Lahtinen= bay, Koski/Koskinen= rapid stream etc. These originally developed to mean a family that lives e.g. on a hill (Mäkinen) or by a bay (Lahtinen).
Interesting! It sounds like the other very common type of surnames we have here in Sweden that are related to the nature, like "Berggren", "Lundkvist", "Bäckström" :D

The thing with the Finnish names is that the service where you found them, doesn’t separate first and second (and third) names, it’s just list of most given names. That’s why there are so many traditional names, especially in the 2017 male names. Second names are usually older ones and might even run in the family and there are few names that are very common as a second name (Juhani, Olavi, Maria just as an example) but not given that often as first name anymore.
My last name is Nielsen but I am from Texas in the USA. I am glad because I don't like cold weather. All of you Scandinavians seem pretty nice to me though.

It is common in Finland to give babies two or three first names. So the popularity of certain names come from generation after generation giving their baby traditional second or third names! For example Maria is a common first AND second name. This is/could be the case in other countries as well

In Slavic languages, there are also surnames composed from the father's name (usually not the actual father's name as well), they are ending with -ich, e. g. the surname of Zlatan Ibrahimović means that he is a son of Ibrahim. However, in East Slavic languages it is more complicated, because the full name of a person is composed of three words: name, actual "father's name" surname and surname.
Nora and William is probably popular because of the Norwegian TV Show "Skam". The main characters are named Noora and William. I am surprised these two were Number one in Norway.

About Finnish surnames: roughly speaking, if it ends in -nen, it is originally from eastern Finland, and if it ends in -la or -lä, it is from western Finland, and might be from a name of an estate or a farm back in the day.
It's so great to see a new video from you after more than a month. Loving Sweden/Scandinavia more and more!! Grattis på uppgå till 7.8 tusen anhängare. Har en god dag! :)

Evniki Alezandria Oh don't apologize! I know how hard it can be learning on an app! (Tried learning Finnish... didn’t go so well...) You’re actually pretty good for learning from an app! The way Swedes would say it now is: “Grattis till 7,8 tusen prenumeranter! Ha en bra dag! :)” As you said is pretty correct but it sounds like you’re really old when you say it like that! But it’s ok! Oh well, ha en bra dag! :D
I feel like the most common baby names in sweden, denmark and also norway all contain one or two Skam character names (a very popular norwegian tv-series that had a "hype" over the last one or two years), like William for example. Maybe that could be the reason, that the trend ist going into a similiar direction for these countries?
I love that you actually tried to pronounce the names as they are pronounced in the said country, that was so funny to watch! I'm Norwegian myself, and here the trend of naming your baby after grandparents or further back in the familytree has been very popular. So with the Finnish lists, I guess that is what is happening in Finland since the top 3 for babies are the same as 3 of the most common names of all time. (Anyone from Finland are free to confirm this or deny this if they want to, its just my guess). Anyways, here in Norway we tend to "copy" the trendy names in Sweden, I know that Ebba has brought some attention here and maybe more names from the Swedish top 10. So usually we can look at the top ten for Sweden, and then the top 10 in Norway and start guessing which names will be "copied" in Norway the next 3 years. That is kind of a interesting tendency.
You know that in Finland there is a minority called "Finlandasvensk" and in Sweden the minority is called "Sverigefinnar" or as it is called in Finnish "ruotsinsuomalaiset". 😊
Just correcting. (I do not know if you know this allready but the way you wrote it make it seem like not.) Finlandssvensk and Sverigefinnar is NOT the same minority, they are two different minorities. Finlandssvensk is a Finnish Citizen that speak Swedish as their native language. Finlandssvenskar (or Finnoswedes as they are called in English) as a minority do not necessarily have any ancestors from Sweden or such, they are just Finns that happen to speak Swedish (due to Swedish being a national language in Finland, and the history of Finland and Sweden being one country before the war in 1808-1809 that Sweden lost to Russia). Svergiefinnar on the other hand, are people from Finland (or children and grandchildren to to people from Finland) that have moved to Sweden. They are a national minority in Sweden. Many of them do still talk Finnish, but not necessarily all (according to the info I have gathered).
@@meamela9820 Im half Swede half Finn. But im Swedish. My fathers family moved from Finland to Sweden in 1964 when he was 2 years old. So he lived his whole life here but spoke perfect Finnnish because my grandmother never learned Swedish. She had 8 kids who all spoke Finnish. But not any of the third generation in my family, meaning myself, my brothers or any of my cousin speak any Finnish, even though i was around the language quite a bit growing up. And from what ive seen with other half Finns ive met my age its the same. Most third generation dont speak it. which i think is a shame, i always wanted to learn it.
@@meamela9820 I saw a list of names from 2019, the baby names : girls: Aino , Aada, Sofia, Eevi, Olivia; boys: Leo , Elias, Oliver, Eino, Väinö. All male names : Juhani , Olavi, Johannes, Mikael, Oliver . All female names: Aino , Aada, Sofia, Eevi, Olivia. www.kaksplus.fi/vauva/aino-leo-suosituimmat-nimet-vuonna-2019/ But I should think that these are the names in the Finnish calendar, the finlands-svensk calender has different names.
As you know, Finland is a bilingual country where both Swedish and Finnish is spoken, so it shouldn't have been that difficult to get the info in Swedish. Som ni vet är Finland ett tvåspråkigt land där man talar både svenska och finska, så därför borde det inte vara svårt att få info på svenska.
Hi! I'm Brazilian, my great grandparents came to Brazil from Europe in the 1800's and something. At that time, there was a large immigration of Europeans to Brazil due to the bad situation in Europe and the promise that Brazil would be the future. I am the great-grandson of Germans, Poles, Ukrainians and Danes, and I inherited only the Danish surname Jensen. I recently discovered that this surname is one of the most common in Denmark.
7:32 wow, you said them rly correcty, but if i need to say one thing, in finnish we don't have å, because our o means å, so Johanna, is like Jåhanna. Your U is our O.
An old classmate of mine has a father named Lars, my neighbour has a son named Mikael, two of the teachers I've had in school are named Anders, I think my father knows a Johan and I have a brother whose name is Erik My mother's name is Maria and she has Anna as a second name. I once had a teacher by the name of Eva, a classmate named Karin. For many years when I was in school, we had a bus driver named Kristina. So, yes, I've met people with the most common Swedish names
My grandmother was Danish (nee Christensen) and her name was Mette. She called her first born daughter (my mother) Kirsten, and her first born daughter (my sister) is called Anne. A LOT of Danish names in our family! Also, my cousin is named Hanne :)
I lived in Norway for 2 years about 50 years ago. The popular names have not changed a whole lot, and your pronunciation is very close to what I remember.
Nackagubben, you know Finland is a bilingual country right? You could have found Finnish lists written in Swedish in our local newspaper sites and government information.
Norway and Sweden were unified from 1814 to 1905, but it never really worked. And Denmark didn't want to join in. Saying that, the Prince of Denmark became King of Norway when Sweden and Norway split. It's complicated.
Hej, Nackagubben, jätte interessant video. But I think I'll fill you in some blanks. Yes, it is true, that Icelanders don't _usually_ have surnames and just patronyms but there are a handful of Icelanders who use actual surnames. I did some research on it a while back for a Wikipedia article and the statistics for 2017 were as follows for the 5 most common Icelandic surnames: 1: Blöndal, 2: Thorarensen, 3: Hansen, 4: Olsen, tied 5th: Andersen, Petersen, so like in the other countries and with the exception of Blöndal, it's all frozen patronyms. There are 3 self-governing areas in the Nordics, Faroe Islands, Greenland, and Åland, and I've taken it upon myself to give you the statistics for these in case you want to do a follow-up sometime (and assuming you actually see this post) but it will take me a few days to get these numbers for you. So stay tuned. :)
1:26 The most common Swedish last names in Finland: Johansson, Nyman, Lindholm, Karlsson, Andersson, Lindström, Eriksson, Lindqvist. The Finnish names seem to be for children but that list includes also middle names. Middle names are often longer and men seldom use them. The most common first names were Eeli Elias Leo Oliver Eino. These look very old names, something given 120 years ago. If I look at the top 50 names I do not recall anyone with any of them in my age group.
ASMR with Emilia Yeah i know, and Sara too, exept of that in English its pronounced "Sera" but in Norwegian we say Sara straight forward with a some long "a".
My name is Anna and my dads name Is lars so thats fun. but i gotta say you did really well on pronouncing the Danish names! I was actually really surprised, especially with the female names.
Hej. Great informative vid there. I am half Norwegian/British heritage and enjoy both my cultures so your look into Skandi names was really interesting for me. I hope to catch more of your great work. Magne Takk. Johnny. Northern U.K.
I'd say reason the baby names are the same is globalization. It's not just a Nordic thing, a lot of the popular baby names you mentioned are also super popular in the UK, US etc.

It’s not a stretch L0 Al Swedish is not all that different from danish or Norwegian, except for their accent
Im from finland and the list is only really old pepoles names

You did quite well pronouncing the Finnish names, good job
I can't explain how much I love the Nordic countries! ❤️❤️❤️
In Slavic languages, there are also surnames composed from the father's name (usually not the actual father's name as well), they are ending with -ich, e. g. the surname of Zlatan Ibrahimović means that he is a son of Ibrahim. However, in East Slavic languages it is more complicated, because the full name of a person is composed of three words: name, actual "father's name" surname and surname.
Ivan Slipukhin Explains the loooong and difficult surnames of some people... It also explains why so many jews and muslims has muhammed in ther names.
Nora and William is probably popular because of the Norwegian TV Show "Skam". The main characters are named Noora and William. I am surprised these two were Number one in Norway.
Yes, but the name Nora have been popular before «skam» in many years
nora and william have been popular names for years, but i do think that those names have become even more popular because of skam
Norwegian people are not that excited about SKAM as you may think
Well in the capital of Norway the most popular name is mohammed...
My name is Nora and i was born in 2003, and it was the most popular name then also

i feel like like we all know atleast one person named Maria or Juho:)
This really shouldn't be interesting but somehow it is xD
About Finnish surnames: roughly speaking, if it ends in -nen, it is originally from eastern Finland, and if it ends in -la or -lä, it is from western Finland, and might be from a name of an estate or a farm back in the day.

It's so great to see a new video from you after more than a month. Loving Sweden/Scandinavia more and more!! Grattis på uppgå till 7.8 tusen anhängare. Har en god dag! :)
Evniki Alezandria Yeah.... Google translate's probably not the best translator 😂
Linnea LD Heya, I do apologize for that. It's actually me still trying to grasp the Swedish grammar; especially the verbs! And learning it on my own using only a phone app probably doesn't make much progress. So yea, I'm sorry (Förlåt). Thanks anyway. :) What's the correct way of writing it?
nice try :D I'd just say "Grattis till 7800 följare! Ha en bra dag :)"
mitchy Oh ok. Noted with thanks. Ha en bra dag :)
Evniki Alezandria Oh don't apologize! I know how hard it can be learning on an app! (Tried learning Finnish... didn’t go so well...) You’re actually pretty good for learning from an app! The way Swedes would say it now is: “Grattis till 7,8 tusen prenumeranter! Ha en bra dag! :)”
As you said is pretty correct but it sounds like you’re really old when you say it like that! But it’s ok! Oh well, ha en bra dag! :D
"New born babiesh. I don't know where that came from."
It came from your inner Sean Connery
-nen in the end of Finnish surnames is diminutive, so for example virta means a stream and virtanen means a little stream.
why is this so cute XD
I feel like the most common baby names in sweden, denmark and also norway all contain one or two Skam character names (a very popular norwegian tv-series that had a "hype" over the last one or two years), like William for example. Maybe that could be the reason, that the trend ist going into a similiar direction for these countries?
No William has been popular for a while.
Skam doesnt put a big impact in what 20-30 year olds name they’re babies

My father’s name is Jens, his father’s name is Jens - and my mother’s dad name is Jens (pronounced yens).
Jens Henrik, Jens Peter and Jens Otto…
I love that you actually tried to pronounce the names as they are pronounced in the said country, that was so funny to watch! I'm Norwegian myself, and here the trend of naming your baby after grandparents or further back in the familytree has been very popular. So with the Finnish lists, I guess that is what is happening in Finland since the top 3 for babies are the same as 3 of the most common names of all time. (Anyone from Finland are free to confirm this or deny this if they want to, its just my guess). Anyways, here in Norway we tend to "copy" the trendy names in Sweden, I know that Ebba has brought some attention here and maybe more names from the Swedish top 10. So usually we can look at the top ten for Sweden, and then the top 10 in Norway and start guessing which names will be "copied" in Norway the next 3 years. That is kind of a interesting tendency.
You know that in Finland there is a minority called "Finlandasvensk"
and in Sweden the minority is called "Sverigefinnar" or as it is called in Finnish "ruotsinsuomalaiset". 😊
Just correcting. (I do not know if you know this allready but the way you wrote it make it seem like not.)
Finlandssvensk and Sverigefinnar is NOT the same minority, they are two different minorities. Finlandssvensk is a Finnish Citizen that speak Swedish as their native language. Finlandssvenskar (or Finnoswedes as they are called in English) as a minority do not necessarily have any ancestors from Sweden or such, they are just Finns that happen to speak Swedish (due to Swedish being a national language in Finland, and the history of Finland and Sweden being one country before the war in 1808-1809 that Sweden lost to Russia).
Svergiefinnar on the other hand, are people from Finland (or children and grandchildren to to people from Finland) that have moved to Sweden. They are a national minority in Sweden. Many of them do still talk Finnish, but not necessarily all (according to the info I have gathered).
@@meamela9820 Im half Swede half Finn. But im Swedish. My fathers family moved from Finland to Sweden in 1964 when he was 2 years old. So he lived his whole life here but spoke perfect Finnnish because my grandmother never learned Swedish. She had 8 kids who all spoke Finnish. But not any of the third generation in my family, meaning myself, my brothers or any of my cousin speak any Finnish, even though i was around the language quite a bit growing up. And from what ive seen with other half Finns ive met my age its the same. Most third generation dont speak it. which i think is a shame, i always wanted to learn it.
@@meamela9820 I saw a list of names from 2019, the baby names : girls: Aino
, Aada, Sofia, Eevi, Olivia; boys: Leo
, Elias, Oliver, Eino, Väinö. All male names : Juhani
, Olavi, Johannes, Mikael, Oliver . All female names: Aino
, Aada, Sofia, Eevi, Olivia. www.kaksplus.fi/vauva/aino-leo-suosituimmat-nimet-vuonna-2019/
But I should think that these are the names in the Finnish calendar, the finlands-svensk calender has different names.
Which is why he should have found the information he searched writing in Swedish in Finnish sites. I think he only must have searched in English.
As you know, Finland is a bilingual country where both Swedish and Finnish is spoken, so it shouldn't have been that difficult to get the info in Swedish.
Som ni vet är Finland ett tvåspråkigt land där man talar både svenska och finska, så därför borde det inte vara svårt att få info på svenska.
ICELAND GANG! I love that you like the language, your accent is cool
There's 3 non-related people in my class with the last name " Andersen " lmao

Hi! I'm Brazilian, my great grandparents came to Brazil from Europe in the 1800's and something. At that time, there was a large immigration of Europeans to Brazil due to the bad situation in Europe and the promise that Brazil would be the future. I am the great-grandson of Germans, Poles, Ukrainians and Danes, and I inherited only the Danish surname Jensen. I recently discovered that this surname is one of the most common in Denmark.

An old classmate of mine has a father named Lars, my neighbour has a son named Mikael, two of the teachers I've had in school are named Anders, I think my father knows a Johan and I have a brother whose name is Erik
My mother's name is Maria and she has Anna as a second name. I once had a teacher by the name of Eva, a classmate named Karin. For many years when I was in school, we had a bus driver named Kristina.
So, yes, I've met people with the most common Swedish names
Great video mate!
For some reason this video was in my suggestions but I’m official in love 😍 eye candy and a cute accent 🤤🤤
No eyebrows though
My grandmother was Danish (nee Christensen) and her name was Mette. She called her first born daughter (my mother) Kirsten, and her first born daughter (my sister) is called Anne. A LOT of Danish names in our family! Also, my cousin is named Hanne :)
I love the name Aurora.
My other name is Aurora c:

Aurora Borealis? At this time of year? At this time of day? In this part of the country? Localized entirely within your mother?
8:07 i think that it should be Antero, not Atero without letter ’n’. I am Finnish and i have never heard name Atero, but Antero is name in Finlad
I lived in Norway for 2 years about 50 years ago. The popular names have not changed a whole lot, and your pronunciation is very close to what I remember.
In denmark The "j" sound is not like j its more like ij 😂 confuseing

Nackagubben, you know Finland is a bilingual country right? You could have found Finnish lists written in Swedish in our local newspaper sites and government information.
Imagine if the Nordic countries united. Talk about masterrace
Norway and Sweden were unified from 1814 to 1905, but it never really worked. And Denmark didn't want to join in. Saying that, the Prince of Denmark became King of Norway when Sweden and Norway split. It's complicated.
Those countries really love names that start with vowels!
Im from Denmark 🇩🇰

YOU DID SUPER GOOD
I have never heard anyone (not danish) pronounce names so good

Hej, Nackagubben, jätte interessant video. But I think I'll fill you in some blanks.
Yes, it is true, that Icelanders don't _usually_ have surnames and just patronyms but there are a handful of Icelanders who use actual surnames. I did some research on it a while back for a Wikipedia article and the statistics for 2017 were as follows for the 5 most common Icelandic surnames:
1: Blöndal, 2: Thorarensen, 3: Hansen, 4: Olsen, tied 5th: Andersen, Petersen, so like in the other countries and with the exception of Blöndal, it's all frozen patronyms.
There are 3 self-governing areas in the Nordics, Faroe Islands, Greenland, and Åland, and I've taken it upon myself to give you the statistics for these in case you want to do a follow-up sometime (and assuming you actually see this post) but it will take me a few days to get these numbers for you. So stay tuned. :)

1:26 The most common Swedish last names in Finland: Johansson, Nyman, Lindholm, Karlsson, Andersson, Lindström, Eriksson, Lindqvist.
The Finnish names seem to be for children but that list includes also middle names. Middle names are often longer and men seldom use them. The most common first names were Eeli Elias Leo Oliver Eino. These look very old names, something given 120 years ago. If I look at the top 50 names I do not recall anyone with any of them in my age group.
Well that included my full name, and a good junk of my families names too.
We have a few of those names in the United States, but we pronounce them differently and in some cases spell them differently.
Jacob Roberts I know. You've got William, oh and "Henrik" is "Henry" in English. Yup Yup!
IAmAFallenAngel AndImCrazy qoop Maria and Anna too! 😀
ASMR with Emilia Yeah i know, and Sara too, exept of that in English its pronounced "Sera" but in Norwegian we say Sara straight forward with a some long "a".
IAmAFallenAngel AndImCrazy qoop in Finland, the name Sara is said with a short ”A”
ASMR with Emilia In Norway its medium lengt, not the shortest, but not that long either
My name is Anna and my dads name Is lars so thats fun.
but i gotta say you did really well on pronouncing the Danish names!
I was actually really surprised, especially with the female names.
Hey, your danish pronounciation was not half bad 😅😅😅😅 "Ida" was spot on, at least, hahaha
I think the Atero should be "Antero" I'm finnish and never met someone called Atero.
Hej. Great informative vid there. I am half Norwegian/British heritage and enjoy both my cultures so your look into Skandi names was really interesting for me. I hope to catch more of your great work.

I'd say reason the baby names are the same is globalization. It's not just a Nordic thing, a lot of the popular baby names you mentioned are also super popular in the UK, US etc.
I am from Denmark: u are pretty good at the female names but the boys....

It’s quite trendy to give traditional names for boys in Finland nowadays.
I'm pretty sure it's supposed to be Antero, not Atero.
In my family, almost all men have Johannes as their second name, and many women have Maria as their second name. The first names are more individual.
