Dog names in Sweden

Dog names › Places › Sweden

Jordbruksverket (Swedish Board of Agriculture) publishes the most common names among 1,064,851 registered dogs. Top 100 names (call names) among all dogs in the compulsory national dog register on 31 December of each year, 2018-2025. Only the top 100 are published. The register was migrated to a new system in 2025, so 2025 counts are not fully comparable with earlier years. Population is the sum of dogs per municipality in the same year.

🐱 Sweden also publishes cat names: see cat names in Sweden.
