Abstract
The article is devoted to the linguistic analysis of Scandinavian hydronyms. The origin of the names of major rivers in Norway and Sweden are considered. It is determined that the etymology of the studied hydronyms has an explanation in the Celtic and Baltic language environment. Moreover, each language area has its own territory of distribution. The names of rivers have an etymology related to such concepts as “a river”, “a riverbed”, “a stream”, “a current”. Hydronyms are represented by the third person singular verb. The proposed article makes it possible to clarify the archaeological and historical aspects of ancient people migration on the Scandinavian Peninsula.
