Etymology
(Norrbotten) First attested as Aarde(r)wik in 1486. Compound of sv årder ard, plough + sv vik inlet.
(Dalarna) First attested as Aluik in 1539. It's earlier form was possibly sv gmq-osw *Almovik, which would be a compound of gmq-osw *Alma Almoån, a local stream + sv vik inlet. *Alma is likely related to dialectal Swedish sv alma sig to grow, referring to how the stream would often 'grow' outside its banks.
(Stockholm) First attested as Ahlwijken in 1720. Compound of sv al alder (tree) + sv vik inlet.
