Svenska ortnamn

The book "Svenska ortnamn" is a comprehensive reference work published by the Swedish Genealogical Society (Sveriges släktforskarförbund). It provides a detailed description of the origin and meaning of more than 10,000 Swedish place names, covering every county in Sweden.

The content of the book is divided into two main sections:

1. Ortnamn och undersökningar (Place names and investigations) – This section provides an overview of the history of Swedish place names and explains the methods used for investigating their origins. It also covers topics such as dialects and spelling variations.
2. Ortnamnen i Sverige (Place names in Sweden) – This section is organized by county and includes a list of all the towns, villages, and other localities in each county along with their historical and linguistic origins.

The book is an invaluable resource for anyone interested in Swedish genealogy, history, or linguistics. It is written in Swedish and includes a glossary of terms.
