How do Nordic names work?

Throughout Scandinavia, the patronymic system of naming is followed while giving a name to the child. According to this system, a person’s family name consisted of their father’s first name with a suffix added to it to help with identifying the gender of the child. For example, if a child is named Maria Pedersdatter, she was the daughter of Peder. Similarly, Johannes Augustsen was the son of August.
