There were no name laws so people could take any name they wished except for those of the nobility. When they learned a craft or otherwise left the farming they discarded the patronymic and most often took a two-part, nature-inspired name like Lundberg, Stenquist, Almlund...... Not foreign-sounding names like Angelo, which I have seen on Italian organ-grinders in Denmark.
