Many professionals elected to assume a new surname marking a milestone in their life or suiting their occupation. When a young man became an apprentice to learn a trade, he would choose an additional surname, generally after reaching journeyman status. Some student adopted an new surname when attending university, and then may change it again at graduation when they begin their professional career. | Many professionals elected to assume a new surname marking a milestone in their life or suiting their occupation.

===Farm Names in Dalarna and Gotland=== | ===Farm Names in Dalarna and Gotland=== | ||
In the province of Dalarna people were frequently recorded with a farm name (''gårdsnamn'') which were always written before their given name. An example of this would be ''Knis Anders Ersson'', who may also be recorded as ''Knis Anders''. These farm names should not be recorded as part of the person's name but should be included as part of the locality. These names usually do not appear in the church record until 1800.<ref>Elisabeth Thorsell. [http://www.etgenealogy.se/farmname.htm ''The Farm Names of Dalarna''].
