Linnéa Henriksson is a Swedish singer.
This reminds me of a book I read all the time when I was younger, "Linnea in Monet's Garden". It was my favorite book because I was obsessed with art, especially impressionism. A fabulous book and a fabulous name. There's a good chance my future daughter might have this name because of what it means to me.
Carl Linnaeus was the real name of the botanist, and how he signed. Carolus Linnaeus was the Latin form that he used when he enrolled at the University of Lund and when he published his works in Latin. He took the name Carl von Linné in 1761, when he was ennobled. 'Linné' is a shortened form of 'Linnaeus' and 'von' was added to signify his ennoblement. In Sweden, he is commonly known as Carl von Linné and elsewhere he is known as Linnaeus.
