Swedish Almanacs from 1198 to 1805
The Almanac Office of the University of Helsinki has collected lists of names from the Swedish calendars and almanacs from the Middle Ages until the beginning of the 19th century, when Finland was part of Sweden.
The names appearing in the calendars and almanacs are listed in chronological and alphabetical order. There are about 1700 different names or forms of names in the lists.
In addition, a list of almanacs from which the names in the lists have been taken has been compiled as a separate list.
