Post-nominal letters are letters placed after the name of a person to indicate that the individual holds a position, office, or honour.
An individual may use several different sets of post-nominal letters. Honours are listed first in descending order of precedence, followed by degrees and memberships of learned societies in ascending order.
Some obsolete positions are not listed unless recipients who continue to use the post-nominals even after the order becomes obsolete are still living.
The following are abbreviations, but in Sweden rather used as prenominals, after the professional title in definite form followed by comma and before the full name.
RoKavKMO/LoKavKMO - Knight/Member (of the cloth) and Commander of His Majesty's Orders (=Knight/Member (of the cloth) of the Order of Seraphim and Commander Grand Cross or Commander 1st Class of one of the orders Sword, Polar Star or Vasa, i.e. Swedish citizens)
RSerafO/LSerafO - Knight/Member (of the cloth) of the Royal Order of the Seraphim (=have only received the Order of the Seraphim, i.e. foreign heads of state)
