The Scottish surname Swan became one of the most common Scandinavian family names in medieval England because of the Viking settlers of ancient Scotland. The Olde Nordic surname Sveinn was Anglicized into the Olde Englishe surname Swein. Their family motto is the battle cry Fidelity!

Some of America's earliest settlers (1600s) had the surname Swan.

The word 'swan' derives from a P-I-E base meaning "to sing, make sound" and is related to a couple of Olde Englishe words that mean "melody, song" and "to make melody".

A black swan is a proverbial allusion to something extremely rare or non-existent.
