Abstract: Investigation of the element FÄLT in Swedish family names in Finland shows that in 1970 the element was contained in 130 different family names borne by 2,597 individuals. Historically, the name was originally reserved for the nobility, particularly the officer class. Later use spread to the dragoons and soldiers. At the beginning of the 20th century, it experienced a renaissance among seamen, farmers, and the lower middle class.
