ArchivesTage -- from Tyge? Scanian? Swedish? Danish? Anyone?
Hello,
I was wondering if someone could shed some light on the male name Tage. I believe that it is a Swedish cognate of Scanian Tyge (like Tyge Brahe), but it is very difficult to track down information about it specifically. All I can find is information on people who have had the name like Tage Danielsson and Tage Erlander. What is the meaning of Tage? What is it's heritage? Is it a "normal" name in Sweden or are there strong associations with it? Any and all information would be very helpful. Also, is it correct to say it "TAHG-eh"?
Thank you very much for helping out.
