Origine et histoire

Nature surname meaning 'grove branch', composed of the Swedish 'lund' (grove, small wood) and 'gren' (branch, bough). Like Lindgren, the '-gren' element is less common than '-berg' or '-strom' in Swedish nature surnames, giving Lundgren a slightly rarer character than the more frequent Lundberg. The surname is distributed broadly across Sweden with no dominant regional concentration. It is most internationally famous through the actor and martial artist Dolph Lundgren, whose global film career brought the surname to worldwide recognition.
