To be a national patron, one must be ( or ideally should be) a noble or notable citizen of the honored country- examples include St.Patrick, Joan of Arc, ( Ireland and France) obviously the saint you mention must have been a Swedish National. She is also associated with Cattle and dairy agriculture- a good idea for the American West!
