Astrid and William rose from 9th place and 2nd place (respectively) in 2021 to dethrone former #1 names Alice and Noah in 2022.
The girls’ top 100 included Sally (53rd), Tuva (65th), Idun (86th), and Eira (98th).
The boys’ top 100 included Sixten (67th), Vide (81st), Folke (86th), and Algot (90th).
The names in Sweden’s top 100 that rose the fastest from 2021 to 2022 were Ronja and Ture. Ture’s rise was particularly impressive:
2022: 251 baby boys named Ture in Sweden [rank: 58th]
2021: 163 baby boys named Ture in Sweden [rank: 84th]
2020: 175 baby boys named Ture in Sweden [rank: 81st]
2019: 171 baby boys named Ture in Sweden [rank: 84th]
The names that saw the steepest drops in usage were Emilia and Sigge.
Finally, some strange news:
Statistics Sweden will stop producing name statistics as of 2024. The reason for this is that Statistics Sweden will prioritize the production of other statistics.
So, will these 2022 rankings be the last set of Swedish rankings we see for a while? (Perhaps a long while?)
How interesting that, not long after Canada decides to begin releasing national rankings, Sweden decides to stop releasing national rankings…
The Nordic country of Sweden is located in Northern Europe and shares land borders with Norway and Finland.
Last year, Sweden welcomed over 114,200 babies — nearly 55,800 girls and close to 58,500 boys.
What were the most popular names among these babies? Alice and Noah.

(Each of these names represents the most common spelling of that name, but “the numbers include all alternative spellings,” according to Statistics Sweden.)
In the girls’ top 10, Vera and Lilly replaced Olivia and Freja.
In the boys’ top 10, Frans — which jumped to 9th place from 27th the year before — replaced Oscar.
The names in Sweden’s top 100 that rose the fastest from 2020 to 2021 were Alba and Ted. (The previous fastest-rising male name, Björn, was second-fastest this time around.) The names that saw the steepest drops in usage were Ronja and Vincent.
In 2020, the top two names were also Alice and Noah.
Below are hundreds of baby names with a numerological value of 4.
What do I mean by that?
Well, in numerology, you substitute each letter in a word with that letter’s ordinal value in the alphabet. (The letter B has a value of 2, for instance, because it’s the second letter.) Then you add those ordinal values together to come up with a total. Lastly, you add the digits of that total together to obtain a numerological value.
Here’s an example: The letters in the name Dale have the values 4, 1, 12, and 5. Added together, these values equal 22. And the digits of 22 added together equal 4.
All of the “4” names below are sub-categorized by totals — just in case any of those larger numbers are significant to anyone. Within each group you’ll find some of the most popular “4” names per gender (according to the most recent set of U.S. baby name rankings).
4 via 13
The letters in the following baby names add up to 13, which reduces to four (1+3=4).

Number 4: Meaning and Associations
What does the number four mean in numerology? Unfortunately, there’s no clear answer. Various numerological systems exist, and each one has its own interpretation of the number four.
That said, if we look at a couple of modern numerology/astrology websites, we see 4 being described as “hardworking,” “practical,” “stable,” “trustworthy,” and “detail-oriented.”
Personally, I prefer to look at associations, which are a bit more concrete. Here are some things that are associated with the number 4:
