Sven (in Danish and Norwegian also Svend and in Norwegian also Svein) is a Nordic first name which is used throughout Scandinavia, Estonia and Germany. The name itself is Old Norse for "young man" or "young warrior". The original spelling in Old Norse was ''sveinn'' (whence Eng ''(swain )'', "servant boy"). Over the centuries, many northern European rulers have carried the name including Sweyn I of Denmark (Sven Gabelbart), who established Danish rule over Norway and successfully invaded England in the year 1002. An old legend relates the pagan king Blot-Sven ordered the execution of the Anglo-Saxon monk Saint Eskil. In medieval Swedish "sven" (or "sven av vapen" (sven of arms)) is a term for squire. The female equivalent Svenja, though seemingly Scandinavian, is not common anywhere outside of German-speaking countries. The Icelandic and Faroese version of Sven/Svend is Sveinn (pronounced ''Svay-dn'' in Icelandic). ==Entertainment and music== * Sven Einar Englund, Finnish composer * Sven August Körling, Swedish composer * Sven Lõhmus, composer, Estonian producer and lyricist * Sven Maes, Belgian producer * Sven Martin, German keyboardist and sound-director * Sven Regener, German musician and writer * Sven-Bertil Taube, Swedish singer and actor * Sven Väth, German electronic music DJ/producer * Sven Wollter, Swedish actor * Svein Berge, Norwegian electronic musician, half of the duo Royksopp 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Sven」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
