Scandinavia is a historical and cultural region in Northern Europe. The term Scandinavia always includes the mainlands of the three kingdoms of Denmark, Norway, and Sweden. The Danish, Norwegian, and Swedish languages form a dialect continuum and are known as the Scandinavian languages. Scandinavian names, which include Swedish names, Norwegian names, Finnish names, and Danish names for baby girls and baby boys, are attracting new interest from dog parents beyond the Scandinavian countries.
