in reply to a message by Satu

Is there a glottal stop in it? It seems like the sort of thing that would have one.

Yes, both Sven and Svend have got this kind of Danish glottal stop called "stød".

They both do?

Thank you for letting me know! Is there any variant of Sven that doesn't have a glottal stop?

Yes they do

Yes, in Danish they both do have the stød. In Danish there are the variant forms Svende and Svenne (both pronounced SVEN-neh) without a stød. They are not very common though.
