It is indeed.
It's a bit of a play on words, since Småland literally translates to Small land, making it apt as this is where you can leave your children at IKEA.
I looked up the etymology of the name out of interest, and it seems like it stems from it being made up of a collection of smaller self-ruling villages, located between Skåne that has often been under Danish control, and Götaland which was controlled by Götar.
Småland is also where the first IKEA was founded.
Indeed! I was planning on mentioning that as well but forgot.
IKEA is an acronym: Ingvar Kamprad Elmtaryd Agunnaryd - the name of the founder Ingvar Kamprad, the village of Elmtaryd (now spelled Älmtaryd) located in the parish of Agunnaryd.
Älmtaryd/Agunnaryd are located in Småland.
