Confirm translation of last name

[George Lind]

Attached are two images taken from the tax registry for Tyke Welatson.
Am I correct that the last name is Welatson?

I have never seen this name before.  It does not have the usual double 's' or am I misreading this. 

This is property number 11 in Wästraby, Högseröd

Here is the info on the original documents

Hi George,
the name Welat does not exist at all.  After checking my book to compare the German handwriting during 17th and 18th centrury I almost gave up. Then I checked Google for Swedish names in the18th century and I found a name that I believe is correct.

MAURITSSON. Maurits is nowadays written as Mauritz = Tyke is the son of Maurits. The letter following that name is g,  which means he is gift/married (maybe you already knew that).

I can´t promise this is 100% correct, but personally I believe I am 99% right. 
Greetings for the new year / Britt Marie

The name is Welatson, Welatßon (Welatsson). Not a common patronymic, at least not outside the southern, former Danish province of Skåne (Scania). A first name Velat/Vellat/Welat/Wellat may originate from Denmark.
