-A person moving into a big city as early as the 1860s could have chosen a name out of the air, their father's soldier name, or perhaps a trade mentor's name to be known by. Rarely was it a place name. In the countryside, the use of patronymics began to phase out in the 1860s to 1870s. Suffixes for a swedish surname are -son (masculine) and -dotter (feminine), although it is not uncommon for women to use the suffix -son as well.
