in reply to a message by Elin
Elin in Swedish is a short form derived from Helena , also a valid Swedish name. Click on the blue "Helena " to see the meaning."Name days" are a big deal in Scandinavian and Baltic countries. It's like having a second birthday every year. The name day for Elin is 7/31, for Helena , 8/18 (today).
