    The Story Behind Ulla Maj

    Ulla is a diminutive of names beginning with 'Ulf-' (meaning 'wolf') or 'Ull-' (related to 'will' or 'determination') in Old Norse, or a short form of Ursula (meaning 'little bear' in Latin). Maj is the Swedish and Danish form of May, derived from the Latin 'Maius', referring to the month of May, which is named after Maia, the Roman goddess of spring and growth. The combination 'Ulla Maj' is a double-barreled name, a common practice in Scandinavian countries, particularly in the 20th century, to honor multiple family members or to create a unique identity.
