Definition: It is a Swedish middle name. The word Karlsson is derived from the given names Karl Gustafsson (the first name) and Sven Henriksson (the last name), which together mean "of the same origin". It was popularized in Sweden during the 19th century as a way to identify people with shared Scandinavian heritage. In Swedish, it can be pronounced as: [kær-sɔːrˈsiːnjə] (kā-ru-sɛ-r-see-nə) or [kras-saːrˈee-nə]. It's pronounced like the first two syllables of "Carlsson", which is also a common Swedish middle name. The word Karlsson is often used as an honorific in Swedish society and has become more widely recognized since the 19th century, where it was adopted to recognize people from the same ancestral background.
