The Uggla family ("owl") is a Swedish noble family, probably originating in the province of Västergötland.




History


The oldest known holder of the surname was Claes Hansson, squire of Bosgården, who was recorded in 1515. After his grandson, Claes Arvidsson, the bailiff of Älvsborg, the family split into three main branches: the Finnish branch, the Krokstad branch in Bohuslän, and the Värmland branch. A grandson of Claes Arvidsson was Admiral Claes Uggla (1614-1676), who was made a friherre (Baron) in 1676. He died later that year in a naval battle near the island of Öland.
Uggla is one of Sweden's most widespread noble families. As of 2013 there were 499 people named Uggla living in Sweden. See List of Swedish noble families.
