Ghostwalker 1,859 Posted July 10, 2021 2 minutes ago, Bavarian said: Could this possibly have someting to do with a rose and it's thorns ? Actually now that I look it up. Rospigg is a modern spelling of " rosbyggiar" which is someone (byggare? (settler)) living in Rosen (old name for Roslagen). However I have a weak memory of seeing a wasp related to Rospiggarna. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What I don't get is why there's no uniformity. Unless I'm wrong, and it has been known, Sweden seems to be the only place to break from the "Location" & "Nickname" convention.
