Probably. In Swedish many forms of Carbon share the same word "Kol". It is the word for the element Carbon, but also the fuel Coal. Carbon brushes are called kolborstar "Carbon/Coal brushes".

Wait, what? Usually the complaint is the other way around. A suit can be worn time and time again, in all kinds of occasions.

Just curious, how does your suit scream wedding?

I've used the suit I bought for my wedding countless times, just ditched the embroidered vest.

Admittedly my WW2 history knowledge is quite lacking, but I don't recognise Vichy because of the war stuff.

But I do recognise Vichy! Because we have a sub-type of mineral water in Sweden that is named after Vichy, "Vichyvatten". Wikipedia tells me the original was from a spring near Vichy, hence the name.

Strong contender! Definitely less populated, but I think also less well known?

World recognition or in-country?

If world I'd guess Huskvarna (pop 24 000) for Sweden.

Known for having a company making chainsaws (among other things) named after it (Husqvarna). It is one of the two main brands of professional chainsaws (the other being Stihl).

Tack för bra genomgång. En fråga bara, på de två instanser jag försökt abonnera på utanför feddit.nu får jag "Subscribe pending", vad är orsaken till det? Måste det godkännas från deras sida?
