Forsgren

Forsgren is a Swedish surname. It is a relatively common surname in Sweden, belonging to the category of surnames derived from nature, specifically related to forests or trees. The name likely originated as an ornamental name (a name adopted during the Swedish naming reforms of the 19th and 20th centuries) or as a place name connected to a forest. The "fors" part of the name refers to a rapid or waterfall, while "gren" means branch. Therefore, the name might suggest someone who lived near a rapid or waterfall with overhanging branches, or a forest related to such a geographical feature. Variations in spelling might exist, but Forsgren is the most common form.
