ArchivesRe: Tove as in Jansson?
in reply to a message by Anneza
Hi Anneza,
Tove was her full name - it's much more common now than the old forms of the name. She was a Finland-Swede, that's why she had a Swedish first- and surname.

'Finland-Swede' means the Swedish-speaking minority in Finland, NOT a Swede residing in Finland. The Swedish-speaking minority means roughly a few per cent of the entire population of Finland, and it's been here for centuries.
Just to clear this up :-)
