Archivesscandinavian surnames...anyone know their meaning?
Hovman (i guess this is a Scandinavian variant of Hoffman)
Nørgaard, Hyldgaard, Kjeldgaard, Pilegaard, Ostergaard, Hedegaard, Rygaard (what does 'gaard' mean? is it 'garden'?)
Flyvholm ('holm' is another common Scandinavian ending)
Vadsholt ('holt' ==> meaning like Dutch 'hout' = wood?)
Tolstrup, Bidstrup
Hasselflug (this might be a Jewish surname too)
Birch (like Thora Birch, same as the English 'birch'?)
Bagge
Tolling (Danish surname)
Scherfig (another Jewish maybe)
Guldbrandsen
Baekmark (also written as Bäkmark i believe)
Mundt
Hogsted (does this mean 'high place' like 'hoge stede' in Dutch)
Ditzel
Krag
Wichmann (Jewish again?)
Cedergren (this one is i believe 'ceder wood' or 'cedergreen')
Stengade
Mejding
Enevold
Ryksjaer (maybe this is Norwegian)
Koefoed (this one doesnt sound Scandinavian at all, but i found a Scandinavian person bearing this surname)
Pilmark (i think 'mark' is a region, area)
Springborg (something with castle)
i know it is a huge list, but i just hope to encounter a Scandinavian person who knows the meaning of those common endings, that would be helpful enough already. thx for reading this.
