From what is known, it was during Richard II of England's regime in the late 14th century the british came by a meatball recipe. It was a frikadell (a cooked meatball) and only the upper class people had the resources for it. It wasn't until mid 19th century regular people began to eat them, thanks to wood stoves and meatgrinders and became fried meatballs. Why "Swedish meatballs" are famous, I don't know though. Must have been some celebrity who mentioned them or something.

Are Swedish meatballs really authentic Swedish meals?

Italian (imo) It really depends on how you intend on serving the meatballs: Swedish meatballs are intended to be served unaccompanied covered with a sour cream based brown gravy, Italian meatballs are intended to be served over spaghetti, vermicelli, linguine, etc. with a pasta sauce (e.g. tomato, cheese, pesto). The spices of each type of meatballs are different and using one type of meatballs for the purpose of the other would produce clashing flavors.
