It provides a woman may retain her maiden name after marriage, and for her children to take her maiden name tf they wish. About 4,000,000 Swedes some 60 per cent of the population-share a total of only 150 common surnames, according to the national registration office. Andersson is the commonest name, borne by more than five per cent of the population. There are 50 pages of Anderssons in the Stockholm telephone directory alone.
