Icelandic surnames
Icelandic name consists of a given name, patronymic (formed from the name of the father) and, in rare cases, a surname. feature traditional Icelandic names is the use (in addition to the name itself) of patronymics and the extremely rare use of surnames.
Most Icelanders(as well as foreigners who have received Icelandic citizenship) have only a first and middle name (a similar practice existed earlier in other Scandinavian countries). In addressing and mentioning a person, only the name is used, regardless of whether the speaker refers to this person to "you" or "you".
For example, Jon Thorsson (Jon ?orsson) - Jon, the son of Thor. The patronymic looks and sounds like a surname.
Surnames have only very small number Icelanders. Most often, the surnames of Icelanders are inherited from parents of foreign origin. An example of well-known Icelanders with surnames is the football player Eidur Gudjohnsen, and the actor and director Balthazar Kormakur.

Scandinavian surnames (Swedish, Norwegian, Finnish, Danish)
Attention!
Sites and blogs have appeared on the Internet that are not our official sites, but use our name. Be careful. Fraudsters use our name, our email addresses for their mailing lists, information from our books and our websites. Using our name, they drag people into various magical forums and deceive (give advice and recommendations that can harm, or lure out money for magical rituals, making amulets and teaching magic).
On our sites, we do not provide links to magical forums or sites of magical healers. We do not participate in any forums. We do not give consultations by phone, we do not have time for this.
Note! We are not engaged in healing and magic, we do not make or sell talismans and amulets. We do not engage in magical and healing practices at all, we have not offered and do not offer such services.
The only direction of our work is correspondence consultations in writing, training through an esoteric club and writing books.
Sometimes people write to us that on some sites they saw information that we allegedly deceived someone - they took money for healing sessions or making amulets. We officially declare that this is slander, not true. In all our lives, we have never deceived anyone. On the pages of our site, in the materials of the club, we always write that you need to be an honest decent person. For us, an honest name is not an empty phrase.
People who write slander about us are guided by the basest motives - envy, greed, they have black souls. The time has come when slander pays well. Now many are ready to sell their homeland for three kopecks, and it is even easier to engage in slandering decent people. People who write slander do not understand that they are seriously worsening their karma, worsening their fate and the fate of their loved ones. It is pointless to talk with such people about conscience, about faith in God. They do not believe in God, because a believer will never make a deal with his conscience, he will never engage in deceit, slander, and fraud.
There are a lot of scammers, pseudo-magicians, charlatans, envious people, people without conscience and honor, hungry for money. The police and other regulatory agencies are not yet able to cope with the increasing influx of "Cheat for profit" insanity.
So please be careful!

A small explanation for the surnames in the table: the letter Ö is pronounced like “Ё”. For example, the surname Högberg should be pronounced Högbery, but not Hogberg. Everything has its own rules!
The Kingdom of Denmark is a northern country, part of Scandinavia, the Danes are descendants of the Vikings and Germanic tribes. All this is reflected in the names, many of which originate from words denoting war, victory, weapons, generic totemic animals (such as a wolf or a bear), these names were formed from nicknames that used to play the role of a personal name, along with a patronymic, they replaced surname.
Biblical names are also common, as well as those borrowed from other languages (for example, names with Latin roots are often found). But primordially Scandinavian names are used more often, Christian ones are never found in royal dynasties, so we can say that traditions in this regard are still strong.
Modern Danes do not have a patronymic, but there is a second, secondary, name that parents choose along with the first. Quite common names in the world are popular, for example, Benjamin or Victor.
How is a boy chosen and named?
Previously, people were guided by traditions for choosing a name: children were named after grandparents. Currently, parents in Denmark choose a name from a special list approved by the state.
The list is quite large, so there is plenty to choose from, but if someone wants to choose something unusual or foreign name then he must apply. Otherwise, the process of choosing a name is similar to that in other countries - parents try to choose the most suitable name, based on its meaning, origin, time of year in which the child was born.
Lutheranism is also widespread in Denmark, so that children can receive names in honor of the saints on whose day they were born.
