Algot is a Swedish given name of Old Norse origin, meaning 'all good'. It was popular among Swedes during the Middle Ages but has become less common in recent times. The name Algot is composed of two elements: 'all', which means 'every' or 'all', and 'god', which signifies 'good'. Thus, Algot translates to 'all good'. This name was often used for boys born into farming families due to its association with fertility and abundance. Some notable individuals named Algot include Algot Lönn, a Swedish physicist known for his work on the aurora borealis.
"Algot was popular among parents in the late 19th to early 20th century, with a notable spike between 1912 and 1918."
