There are no official nicknames to Sweden. One name that might be considered a "nickname" is "Mother Svea".

The motto is defined by the current king at the day of his coronation.

Some of the mottos has been:

Gustaf VI Adolfs: Duty above everything else.

Gustaf V: With the people for the motherland.

Oscar II: For the welfare of the two brother peoples. (Sweden ruled Norway back then.

Queen Kristina "Columna regni sapientia" Latin wich means "Wisdom is the support of the people"

The current one is: For Sweden in time. (För Sverige i tiden) and is set by our current king HRM Carl XVI Gustaf.

Sweden has no official nick name. "Sweden" does not mean anything but is the English translation of the swedish word "Sverige".

"Sverige" is actually two words: "Svea" (which is the name of the people that used to live in the Stockholm and Helsinki areas thousands of years ago) and "Rike" which means "kingdom" or "country"
