Scandinavian Names for Boys

Scandinavian names for boys have their origins in Sweden, Norway, or Denmark. More popular choices such as Stellan and Soren have migrated to the US in recent years, as parents look for new international sources for unusual names with meaning. Note that Finland is not considered a Scandinavian country so Finnish names are not included in this group of Scandinavian names for boys.
