90-95% of Sweden used a patronymic naming system until the very late 1800's... "the process of designating a surname based upon the given name of the father, thus consistently changing the family surname from one generation to the next. Generally, -son or -dotter was added for gender distinction."
An example... if a man named Lars Johansson had a son named Ivan and a daughter named Anna, the children's full names would be: Ivan Larsson and Anna Larsdotter.
