uppkallning
Uppkallning is a Swedish tradition of naming a child after a deceased relative. The term literally translates to "naming after" or "calling after." This practice is a way to honor the memory of the departed and ensure their name continues to live on.
Typically, the child receives the name of the relative in question, often as a first or middle
The act of uppkallning is not strictly prescriptive; families may adapt the tradition to their specific circumstances
