In Swedish, "paddan" (with the definite article "-an" or "-en" added) means "the toad". The base word is "padda," which means "toad."
The reason the Gothenburg canal tour boats are called "Paddan" is a bit of a quirky story:
The first person to start these tours rebuilt a type of west coast boat called a Kosterbåt. When this boat was turned upside down during the rebuilding process, it supposedly resembled a toad. So, the name "Paddan" stuck!
