Norwegian Naming Patterns
 For genealogists use of "last names" is very confusing. Most people had a patronymic  or father - name. 
 E.G. if a man named Thor (first name) had a son called Ole - the son would be known  as Ole Thorson (Ole son of Thor) if there was a daughter - e.g. Anna she would be  known as Anna Thorsdatter (daughter of Thor). If the family came from a farmland the  name of that farm could also be added to there name.So for example we could have Thor  (whose father's name may have been Hoschuld)who lived on the farmland Hoyland.So Thor  would be - Thor Hoschuldson Hoyland- Hoyland being the address of the farm.
