Etymology
Vasa is the family name of a Swedish royal house that ruled Sweden and parts of Poland in the 16th and 17th centuries. A helpful way to remember it is to think of a family crest or symbol that gave the house its name, and that is why people and things (like the ship) were later called Vasa.
