Etymology

From Old Swedish vargher, from Old Norse vargr, from Proto-Germanic *wargaz, from Proto-Indo-European *werǵʰ-. Originally had the meaning "destroyer, criminal," but replaced the original word ulv as a noa-name (euphemistic taboo avoidance). Compare gråben, tasse, etc.

    • 1984, “Vargsången [The wolf song]”, Astrid Lindgren (lyrics), Björn Isfält (music)‎performed by Lena Nyman:
      Vargen ylar i nattens skog. Han vill men kan inte sova. Hungern river hans vargabuk, och det är kallt i hans stova. Du varg, du varg, kom inte hit. Ungen min får du aldrig.
      The wolf howls in the forest of the night. He wants to sleep but cannot. ["He wants to but cannot sleep" – "He wants to X" is "Han vill X"] [The] hunger tears his wolf belly, and it is cold in his stove [archaic, dialectal, in the dated English sense]. Hey [du (“you”) can be used as a vocative] wolf, hey wolf, do not come [to] here [hither]. My child you will never have.
    Vargarna ylade i skogen
    The wolves howled in the forest
    Synonyms: gråben, tasse, ulv
