I believe her middle name is ULRIKA. I found a source online. Please double check. If incorrect, then delete. Geraldshields11 (talk) 13:56, 8 December 2017 (UTC)Reply

Proper name edit

The article has a hatnote: "This article is about a person whose name ends in a patronymic rather than a family name. The article properly refers to the person by their given name, Karin, and not as Olofsdotter." But the article refers to her as Olofsdottir. What gives? Does Sweden really have some names that are patronymic, as opposed to inherited family names like our Johnson? Zaslav (talk) 04:24, 22 November 2019 (UTC)Reply
