Morning gift gets 21.9 percent of the votes - both the newspaper's readers and the general public have had the chance to like it.

10,000 people took part in the vote.

According to Språktidningen, the place name first appears in 1667 and refers to a croft in Heby municipality that a mill owner must have donated to one of his servants.

The farmhand had taken on the paternity when the patron made a maid pregnant and the croft became part of the settlement.

"A love gift"

Many people think of the morning gift as a love gift.

Others interpret the name Morgongåva as meaning that every new day is a gift that it is up to everyone to make the best of, says Anders Svensson, editor-in-chief of Språktidningen.

In the poll, Sweden's funniest place names have also been chosen.

The winner was Snålkuk, a mountain in Jokkmokk municipality.

The name is believed to come from the Lule Sámi snålkke, which means steep rock wall.
