Viking people were known for their rich heritage, culture, and strength. But the most important thing that represented them was their naming method. The surnames of the Vikings were part of their identity. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The naming method of the Vikings was that the last name or the surname had a patronymic or matronymic name, which means that the last name consisted of their father or mother\u2019s first name with a suffix \u201cson\u201d for the male and \u201cdottir\u201d for the daughters. If someone has the surname Bjornsson it means \u201cson of Bjorn\u201d and if they have the surname Gudrunsd\u00f3ttir it means\u201cdaughter of Gudrun\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So with every generation, the surname of the people changed because it was named using the first name of the parents rather than the last name. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
