This site is fun for discovering how many people in modern Sweden have a particular given name or last name. The site is only in Swedish.

Efternamn = last name  
Båda könen = both genders

You need to choose the correct type of name (and gender) before you search.
 
Sök = search.  
Rensa = erase/clear
 
Results are in Swedish only, but the first part tells us how many have that name in modern times and the next part tells how many use that name as their title name, the name they are called.

Nearly all names ending with the letter a are female names. Most but not all female names do end in an a.
