Flodin Family History

Swedish: ornamental or habitational name formed with the (placename) element flo ‘small water swamp’ + the adjectival suffix -in a derivative of Latin -in(i)us ‘relating to’.

In this context, the component flo refers to a specific geographical feature, emphasizing the connection to small bodies of water or swamps.

The addition of the suffix -in indicates a relationship or connection, enhancing the meaning of the name.

This structure showcases the linguistic influences of Latin on Swedish naming conventions, particularly in the formation of adjectives.

The use of an intrusive -d- for euphony illustrates a phonetic alteration aimed at improving the sound quality of the name.
