History: Elsa has deep Swedish roots long before Disney's Frozen. Selma Lagerlöf's 'The Wonderful Adventures of Nils' features Elsa. The name peaked in the early 1900s, faded, then Frozen brought it roaring back in the 2010s. In Sweden, Elsa represents both literary heritage and the amusing fact that the world's most famous ice queen shares a name that Swedish grandmothers carried.
