From Where Does The Surname Originate? meaning and history
(Dutch, Dan, Non, Swedish) The son of Jan, Dutch and Scandinavian form of John (gracious gift of Jehovah).
User-submitted Reference
This surname means 'child of Jan'. In the patronymic system of old Sweden, children of the common folk were given a surname based on the first name of their father. These patronymic surnames were gendered, so that sons had names ending in -son and daughters had names ending in -dotter. Surnames of other types existed among craftsmen and the like.
Women kept their -dotter name the whole life, married names were not used. So at this time women did not have -son names.
