"Sweden" as well as the Swedish designation "Sverige" have the common root referriing to the people living in what's today central Sweden, Sweons (eng) or Svear (swe). "Sweden", I understand, is originally a plural form of the inhabitants, while the second part of "Sverige" - "rige" is the same word as "rike" (realm, land or country). Thus "Sverige" means "Svearnas rike" or "Land of the Sweons".
The word Svear derives from proto-germanic s(w)e, meaning "one's own (tribesmen)". Modern Scandinavian still uses it in words such as svåger (brother-in-law) and svägerska (sister-in-law).
