Sven is a Scandinavian masculine first name. In Old Norse the meaning was "young man" or "servant" and the original Old Norse spelling was ''sveinn''. Variants such as ''Svend'' are found in Danish language, Danish and Norwegian language, Norwegian. Another variant, ''Svein'' is used only in the Low Countries and German-speaking countries, and is cognate with the English surname ''Swain (surname), Swain''. In medieval Swedish, ''sven'' or ''sven av vapen'' "sven of arms", is a term for squire. The female equivalent, Svenja, though seemingly Dutch and Scandinavian, is not common anywhere outside of German language, German-speaking countries. Sven can also be spelled with a "w" - Swen - but is pronounced as Sven. The Icelandic language, Icelandic version is ''Sveinn'' (); the Faroese language, Faroese version is Sveinur ().
