Pontus (given name)


Pontus is a masculine given name of Swedish origin. The name arose in Sweden through French nobleman Pontus De la Gardie: named Ponce in French, he transliterated his name that way rather than the standard Pontius. It was a relatively uncommon given name in Sweden, but came into greater usage there in the 1980s and 1990s. The name day for Pontus in Sweden is 20 November.
