      @@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+.

    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).

    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.

    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.

  • @ivanslipukhin4533

    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.

    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.

      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).

    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. :)

      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.

    You did the danish pronunciation quite well. I'm from 1956, and some of the most common girls names around that year is Marianne, Susanne, Annette, Birgitte, Hanne - and for boys fx Carsten, Michael, Jens, Peter, Torben, Jørgen

    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.

      Lelouch Täälläkin nimettiin samallalailla ennen vanhaan. Esim Tapion poika oli sukunimeltään Tapionpoika. Tämä perinne on kuitenkin jäänyt jostain syystä Suomessa pois. Tosin monen toinen tai kolmas nimi on vieläkin (random nimi)-poika/-tytär.

      Tannu in Iceland it matters if you are a boy or a girl. If you are a boy your are "son" but if you are a girl you are "dóttir" :)

    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.
