Elva a Swedish name? It's very rare here, I've never met one. Probably because it means "eleven" in Swedish. I don't know if it even should be listed as a Swedish name.
I did have a relative called Elvan ("number eleven"), though - she had ten siblings - but it's even rarer.

I had a relative named Helga Dussina ("Dozen-a") for similar reasons. Even more rare. :)

Now I want to make a post about 19th century families whose children eventually got names like Trettondal and Fjortina. 19th century families are the best.
