kungarna

Kungarna is the definite plural form of kung in Swedish, meaning "the kings." It is used in historical, literary, and formal contexts to refer to more than one king, and can also appear as a proper noun in titles or organization names.

Linguistic background: The stem kung comes from Old Norse konungr; the standard plural is kungar, and the definite plural is kungarna. In Swedish grammar, the definite plural is formed by adding -na to the plural kungar, producing kungarna.

Usage: In scholarly writing, kungarna appears when discussing monarchies or dynasties. In modern media and culture, the term may appear as a title or name—for example bands, films, or publications—where it conveys regal or heroic associations without implying a specific sovereign.
