ABBA- Rock band how the name was made ?

Answer 1

"In the spring of 1973, Stig, having tired of the unwieldy names, started to refer to the group privately and publicly as ABBA. This was done as a joke at first, since Abba was also the name of a well-known fish-canning company in Sweden. However, since the fish canners were more or less unknown outside Sweden, Stig came to believe the name would work in international markets and so it stuck. Later the group negotiated with the canners for the right to use the name. The first single released as "ABBA" was the famed winner of the Eurovision Song Contest in 1974, 'Waterloo'.

ABBA is an acronym formed from the first letters of each group member's name: Agnetha, Björn, Benny and Anni-Frid (Frida). It is usually written ABBA but sometimes, mostly in the media, also as a word, Abba. The first B in the logo version of the name was reversed on the band's promotional material from 1976 onwards and became the group's registered trademark."

Answer 3

ABBA - Abba is "father" in Hebrew but the band claims that to be unintentional - rather it is an acronym for the first names of the band members: Agnetha, Björn, Benny and Anni-Frid (Frida).

Answer 4

The word ';Mamma Mia' is an somewhat popular italian word. i would not study too lots into that. there is an italian eating place close to the place I stay called Mamma Mia and that may not something to do with ABBA, it fairly is like an expression of marvel in Italian. Scaramouche is yet another Italian be conscious..properly taken from teh italian be conscious for 'skirmish', 'Scaramouche' refers to a character the italian theatre 'comeddia dell'arte'. Bohemian Rhapsody makes use of assorted italian words, not purely those. And Mamma Mia exchange into set in Italy. it is commonplace and probably is a twist of fate that the two comprise the comparable Italian words. For the record, ABBA did a track called Scaramouche...properly an instrumental recording besides.
