Moberg

Moberg is a surname of Swedish origin that is carried by individuals in Sweden and other Nordic countries, as well as among descendants of Nordic emigrants in North America. The name appears in historical records and contemporary contexts, and is considered a typical example of a Scandinavian family name.

Notable bearers include Vilhelm Moberg (1898–1973), a Swedish author and journalist who became one of the most prominent figures in 20th-century Swedish literature. Moberg is best known internationally for The Emigrants trilogy, a set of novels that chronicles Swedish emigration to North America and engages with themes of liberty, community, and social change.

Beyond Vilhelm, the surname is found across various fields in the Nordic region, including academia, literature, and public life. It remains relatively common in Sweden and among Swedish-speaking communities, and may be encountered in diaspora communities around the world. As with many surnames of Scandinavian origin, Moberg can be associated with regional family histories and cultural heritage, rather than a single defining institutional identity.
