Swedish cat names are great for strong and charismatic cats. If you are looking for a Scandinavian name for your new friend, you are at the right place.
When we talk about Sweden, most people think about vast forests, great lakes, amazing natural beauties, lots of snow, great rock bands (which is another inspiration for some rocker cat names) and of course IKEA with its delicious meatballs! However, there is more to Sweden! With its rich history, mythology and culture, it is also a great source for Swedish cat names.
Did you know European Shorthair cat breed actually originates from Sweden? FIFE even registers this Scandinavian version of European Shorthair as a separate breed with its own standards. Such an amazing country with such an amazing breed naturally has some amazing cat names.
Our list of Swedish cat names include the meanings of the names and is classified into two categories to make it easier for you to choose the right name for your kitty:
- Male Swedish Cat Names
- Female Swedish Cat Names
Before you start reading the list of Swedish cat names, I have a few suggestions for you which are important in naming your little friend.
Have a pen and paper or your phone ready so that you can note the names you like as you go. This way, when you finish reading, you will have your own list of names that consist of only the names you like which makes it easier to pick your favorite.
If there is more than one person involved in choosing the name, have your separate lists and compare your lists at the end to see if there is any common name everybody likes. This is a great way to avoid conflicts 🙂
Keep your cat’s character or physical traits in mind while choosing the name. It makes a lot more sense in the long run if the name matches your cat’s physical traits or its character.
Now, without further ado, let’s check our list of Swedish cat names.
