This seems to be all available name statistics collected by Statistics Sweden: https://www.scb.se/en/finding-statistics/statistics-by-subject-area/population/general-statistics/name-statistics/. Scroll down to "All registered persons in Sweden - Given names and names normally used, top 10 and top 100 lists". Some of the files can we viewed on the website, some will download on your computer/device.
(Btw, "Names normally used" is the name a person goes by. In Sweden, this don't have to be the first name in a name combo. For example someone named Anna Maria Lind could have Maria as their "normally used name" and should be called Maria Lind, not Anna Lind).
There are no year-by-year popularity lists for names given to newborns prior to 1998 as far as I can tell.
