Svend Haagonsen Heyerdahl

Legg inn av gj00621 » 30 jan 2005 21:28:39

Does anyone know why Sven Haagensen Rakkestad, about 1690 - 1762, would decide to take the surname Heyerdahl? It is not a farm name from what I can tell and I was wondering what the significance of it is.

Thanks,

Joel Knutson

I am not able to answer your specific question but you may find some information about the Heyerdahl family name in some of the following books:

- Faye, Gabriel Smith: Familien Heyerdahl. Chria. 1857. 16pp. [].

- Malm, Erling: Stamtavle over ætten Worm-Müller, avsn. I-IV, og ætten Heyerdahl, avsn. V. Oslo 1939. 6pp. [MH]

- NN: Stamtavle utvisende familjen Heyerdahl's forbindelse med de gamle norske kongeætter. Trondh. 1928. 15pp. [db].

- Sollied, H.: Slekten Heyerdahl. Oslo 1940. 226pp. [ns][fb].

Christian F. Scheel has an excellent overview of family history literature at his web site

Svend Haagensen was the son of Anne Joergensdatter, daughter of Joergen Svendsen Chortogaeus. Joergen and his brother Chirstopher/Kristoffer were sons of Svend Svensen and Tore Olsdatter Rakkestad and both became priests.

As students they created, as was the custom of the time, from 'Hoeland' the latin name Chortogaeus (Hoe- in Hoeland and 'chortos' meaning hay, grass.)

Chortogaeus was a one-generation name, the next generation translating the latin name "back" to Heyerdahl (hey=hay.)

Svend Haagensen himself and his sister Mette Haagensdatter's sons took the name Heyerdahl, and the present-day Heyerdahl family descends from six of Mette's and Halvor Andersen Rakkestad's sons. (I hope I got this correct...) Regards from Torgeir.

Torgeir,

Wow! Thank you for that information. It is just what I was looking for when I posted the question.
