Of course, it is a Name
And it is Swedish. So maybe you should ask in the Swedish-English Pair waht it means.

it's a name
If you want to break it up into its separate parts "ville" is the imperfect form of vilja (to want/will/wish) and a "kulla" is a girl or woman from Dalarna. Or, as a verb, to kulla someone is to tag them.

asptech
: just to set things straight: "ville" alludes to "villervalla" (mess) and "kulla" to "kulle" (low hill), a very common ending in Swedish (rural) place names.

Thanks - of course! Serves me right for trying to think before I'm awake, though I had no idea about villervalla - that's a new word for me!

Jan Leinonen
: that it's a name, and with asptech on the meaning. There seems to be no established English translation for the name, so Pippi's home in English is the same as it is in Swedish.
