ArchivesRe: Popularity of IGOR in Scandinavia
in reply to a message by Andy ;—)
Hi Andy,
Igor:
Sweden - 711
Norway - 128
Denmark - 156
Finland - approx. 700
Iceland - 9
Ingvar:
Sweden - 49,680
Norway - 1,555
Denmark - 217
Finland - approx. 530
Iceland - 719
Most Igors in the Nordic countries probably have got Russian parents. Usually people don't even know that Igor is a variant form of Ingvar as it sounds very foreign.
In Sweden, Ingvar was very common in the 1940s and 1950s, especially as a second name. Nowadays it is an old fashioned name, which is not old enough to become popular again.
Viele Grüße
Satu
