Can anyone tell me how the Swedish name Lagerl枚f translates into English?

Lagerl枚f is an old distinguished name meaning "laurel leaf" or "bay leaf".





Although lager can mean "layer" or "storeroom/warehouse" it also means "laurel".





lagertr盲d = bay tree, laurel tree


lagerkrans = laurel wreath


lagerl枚f or lagerblad = laurel leaf or bay leaf

By the way, Kilroy, if you really can speak Swedish then you should know that "I speak Swedish" is "jag pratar svenska" or "jag kan svenska" and not "jag prata svenska".

Can anyone tell me how the Swedish name Lagerl枚f translates into English?
Kilroy J is the one who's most right here, I'd say.





Lagerl枚f is an old name. You can tell by the f. And I don't see why people back then would have a name that was "storage room for leaves", or "of leaves". The "lager" that they mean is most likely layer. And "l枚f(l枚v)" means leaf.


So her name would be something like "Layer of leaves", "Layerleaf" if you want it word-for-word.
Reply:Lager can also mean 'layer' or 'sheet'


L枚f is a leaf (as in from a tree)





Could come from something to do with a 'layer of leaves'
Reply:Lager means repository or lair.


As seen by a german!
