We call it Karlavagnen in Swedish. I'm not going try to translate it.
The equivalent in English is Charles' Wain or Charles' Wagon (wain is an
old term for wagon). Could also be Carl's Wain. Those are old names that
go back much further than the Big Dipper or Plough (British name for
it). According to Wikipedia, Carl/Charles is a modification of "churl",
an old Germanic word for man. Thus it was the man's wagon, while the
Little Dipper is the women's wagon.
