Författare Ämne: What does """"Stenbråten"""" mean?  (läst 1105 gånger)

Hello
 
One of my ancestors (Mickel Henriksson) came from Östmark  
parish in Torsby, Värmland. On the parish registers his parents  
and himself appear living in a place called Stenbråten (or  
Millmark Stenbråten or Sörmark Stenbråten).
 
On the other hand, after his marriage in Östmark, his children's  
birth registers mention him as Stenbråten Mickel Henriksson,  
the same way as others are mentioned with Dr or Torp befor  
their names. Does Stenbråten mean something? Is it normal to  
put his dwelling place before his name? Or is it some kind of  
profession or title?
 
Thanks in advance

A place where you are breaking stones from a rock, a mountain; to build houses, streets or walls etc...Stenbrott?!
best regards: Steve

Well, I'm not think that is the correct explanation here.
 
If you cut down some tree to make an agriculture area, that can be called a Bråte (maybe jam of logs in english). So there is plenty of places in Sweden called Bråten. In old days they also burned the logs to get nutritious ashes.
 
And if the ground is full of stones (Sten in Swedish) the name of the area can be Stenbråten.

Hello
 
Is StenbrOten and Stenbrottet the same thing?
 
Does it make sense to name somebody as StenbrOten Mickel  
Henriksson?
 
Thank you

Stenbråten and Stenbrottet might be the same ting, but isn't necessairly so.
 
Yes, if he lived in a place called Stenbråten, it does make sense, in certain parts of Sweden, to name him as Stenbråten Mickel Henriksson.

You can read about Swedish naming customs here and see how the systems worked in the old days.

According to Bengt Pamp: Ortnamnen i Sverige [Place names in Sweden], Lund 1988 p. 90 bråte means röjning, svedjeland [clearance, burnbeaten land]. The placename Stenbråten is obviously a descriptive one.

I am sorry if I have confused You, I am brought up at the Swedish West Coast: Gothenburg/ Vätergötland/Bohuslän area in the very south of the country, and what I know: Stenbråten is not known there as a world among people in general, but Stenbrott certainly is well known! So listen instead to these people from the north of this huge country (well, in Europe it is huge and not at least, very long distances between people and cities/towns...and so many different customs aswell. I always felt more forreing up in the north of Sweden where I spent a year in the 80?s, than living in for example in Spain, in the south of Europe. Although we have the same language in Sweden, but so many different dialects!
Best wishes: Steve

Thanks a lot to everyone for your help.  
 
By the way, I'm Spanish, an live in the Basque Country, so I know  
quite well how things may change from one area to another,  
even at short distances ;-)
 
I don't know Sweden, although my mother's family came from  
there (Sweden/Norway to Minnesota, and then over to Spain),  
and I sometimes get a bit lost with words and names that cannot  
be easily found in dictionaries.
 
Thanks again very much
