Hi
Cassie,
Niklas is a Low
German form of
Nikolaus (
Nicholas in English) and
Ebba is a Low
German form of Old High
German names starting with
Eber- (e.g. Eberharda, Ebergund, Eberhild etc.) or Eylb- (e.g. Eylberta, Eylburg etc.).
Niklas is used in the north of Germany as well as in Denmark, Sweden, Norway and the Netherlands.
Ebba is very popular in Sweden at the moment and it is used in the other countries mentioned above as well, especially in Denmark.
If somebody asked me: Guess what country
Ebba and
Niklas live in, I'd alway say Sweden!
