Until the end of the 18th century we find rotative family names in Schleswig-Holstein. When a male child was born, he received the suffix “sen” to his name after his father. For instance: Peter, son of Jens received the name Peter Jensen. Peter himself received the name Nissen from his father, Nis Ericksen and so forth. Women received the genetiv “s” to their name. Cathrin, who was married to Tim, was called Cathrin Tims. Cathrin who was the daughter of Peter was called Cathrin Peters or Cathrin Peters daughter. | Until the end of the 18th century we find rotative family names in Schleswig-Holstein.
