Nystrom Surname Meaning

From Where Does The Surname Originate? meaning and history

(Swedish) New stream.

Dictionary of American Family Names (1956) by Elsdon Coles Smith

User-submitted Reference

The name means 'new stream' in Swedish. It's a chosen name, so not all Nystroms are related. In the late 1800s and into the early 1900s Sweden changed from using patronymic names that changed with every generation (i.e. Larson is the son of Lars) to using family names based on the name they already had, the name of their farm, or out of a list of acceptable names, often based on nature.
