feminine · Swedish origin
My is a Scandinavian feminine name used primarily in Sweden, derived as a form of the Old Norse name Myrun or, more commonly, as a Swedish adaptation of the Greek-origin name Myriam or simply as an independent short form that developed within Scandinavian naming tradition. It gained wider recognition through Astrid Lindgren's beloved children's book series, in which My is the name of a small, spirited Mymble's daughter character. The Vietnamese form Mỹ, written with a different tone mark, carries a separate origin, derived from a Sino-Vietnamese word meaning beautiful. Related forms include Mia, Maja, and Myriam in European traditions.
