Ragnar c (genitive Ragnars)

  1. a male given name
    • 1994, Marianne Fredriksson, Anna, Hanna och Johanna, Wahlström & Widstrand, published 2001, →ISBN, page 48:
      - Ragnar lelle, sa hon.
      Hon var glad för namnet, för att hon haft kraft att driva igenom det. I båda gårdarna hade det varit invändningar, i ingen av släkterna hade namnet funnits. Sen hade de tigit och tänkt, att dä ä som dä ska, oäkting ska ente bäre släktnamne. Men Hanna mindes en pojke i skolan.
      - Ragnar lelle, she said.
      She was happy with the name, because she had the strength to push it through. In both farms there had been objections, in neither family had the name existed. Then they had remained silent and thought that it is as it should be, a bastard should not bear a family name. But Hanna remembered a boy at school.
