    the modern name sweden is derived through back-formation from old english swēoþēod, which meant "people of the swedes" (old norse svíþjóð, latin suetidi). this word is derived from sweon/sweonas (old norse sviar, latin suiones). the swedish name sverige (a conjunction of the words svea and rike – the latter is still spelt with the letter g, "rige", in modern danish) literally means "kingdom of the swedes", excluding the geats in zütaland.
