In modern English, the name of Sweden (Swedish: Sverige [ˈsvæ̌rjɛ] (listen)) is derived from 17th century Middle Dutch and Middle Low German. In Old English, the country was named Swēoland (literally "Swede land") and Swēorīċe (literally "Swede kingdom"); the latter is cognate with Old Norse Svíaríki. Anglo-Norman of the 12th and 13th centuries used Suane and Swane (with the adjective as Suaneis). In Scots, Swane and Swaine appear in the 16th century. Early Modern English used Swedeland.
The Old English name for Sweden was Swēoland or Swēorīċe, land or kingdom of the Swēon, whereas the Germanic tribe of the Swedes was called Svíþjóð in Old Norse. The latter is a compositum consisting of Sví which means Swedish and þjóð which means people. The word þjóð has its origin in the elder Indo-European word teuteh.
The name of the Sviar is derived from a self-designation containing the Germanic reflexive *s(w)e “one's own” or “self”.
