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''].
