Ann-Margret Olsson 🤔 -sson. Seems like Mac, Mc or O'. **Yes**, the Swedish suffix **-sson** means "son of," just like **Mac** or **Mc** means "son of" in Scottish (and Irish) names, and **O'** (from Irish *Ó*) means "descendant of" or "grandson of." ### Swedish -sson: Patronymic Origin In traditional Scandinavian naming (used for centuries in Sweden, and similarly in Denmark and Norway), people did not have fixed hereditary surnames like we do today. Instead, they used **patronymics**: - A son of a man named Anders would be called **Andersson** ("Anders's son"). - A son of Johan would be **Johansson**. - A son of Nils would be **Nilsson**. Daughters traditionally used **-dotter** (e.g., Andersdotter = "Anders's daughter"), ➡️though in modern times almost everyone uses **-sson** regardless of gender.⬅️ This is exactly parallel to: - **Mac**/**Mc** (Gaelic *mac*) = "son of" → e.g., MacDonald = son of Donald. - **O'** (Irish *Ó*) = "descendant/grandson of" → e.g., O'Brien = descendant of Brian. ### Key Historical Difference The big difference is timing and how the names became fixed: - In Scotland and Ireland, many Mac/Mc and O' names became fixed hereditary surnames much earlier (often by the late Middle Ages or early modern period). - In Sweden, the patronymic system remained the norm for most people until the early 20th century. In **1901**, Sweden passed the Names Adoption Act (or Family Name Regulation), which required or strongly encouraged people to adopt permanent, hereditary family names. Many simply "froze" their existing patronymic as the family surname. This is why names ending in **-sson** are extremely common in Sweden today (Andersson, Johansson, Karlsson, Larsson, Nilsson, etc., dominate the top of the surname lists). They are "frozen patronymics." ### Other Swedish Surname Types Not all Swedish surnames end in -sson. There are also: - Nature-inspired names (e.g., Lindqvist = "lime/linden twig/branch", Berg = "mountain"). - Military/ornamental names from the allotment soldier system. - Place-based or other adopted names. But the **-sson** ending specifically marks the old patronymic tradition. ### Quick Comparison Summary | Suffix/Prefix | Language/Culture | Meaning | Example | Notes | |---------------|----------------------|----------------------|----------------------|-------| | **-sson** | Swedish (Scandinavian) | "son of" | Andersson | Frozen patronymic since 1901 | | **Mac/Mc** | Scottish/Irish Gaelic | "son of" | MacDonald | Often fixed earlier | | **O'** | Irish | "descendant of" / "grandson of" | O'Brien | Clan-based ancestry | | **-sen** | Danish/Norwegian | "son of" | Jensen | Equivalent to Swedish -sson | So in short: **Yes** — -sson is the Swedish version of the "son of" patronymic, directly comparable to Mac/Mc, though it became a fixed surname more recently than many Celtic examples.

Eu realmente acho q eles vao dar um jeito de trazer a Andersdotter de volta. Acho que vao inventar algo como tipo uma versao fictícia dela. Tipo "Ah o conjunto da imaginação de suas histórias deu origem a uma versao sua do mundo da Fantasia" algo assim

Ah I confused them There was Felix Reda - the FtM one - and then Amelia Andersdotter - the Swedish one, first Pirate Party member in Europarliament. Anyway it's all gone, they have 1 member now, from Czech Republic; I think Czech ones are the only Pirate party standing
