<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial;">My
grandfather emigrated from Sweden
to the US
in the late 19th century and was called "Swan" Johnson. As a
child, I found this to be an odd name for a big burly man, but after my
language studies, I always assumed that "Swan" was a corrupted
form of Sven (or one misspelled by immigration officials, as commonly
occurred). This would certainly tie in with the Swanson-Svenson
connection suggested by Wolfram. It would also correlate with Sandy's Swansons in Scotland. Certainly,the
Scandinavian influence in parts of Scotland
is huge, with many families and clans claiming Norse heritage, as I'm sure Sandy has mentioned in
the past. With Scottish and Swedish ancestry, my brother has suggested
that our family is probably 95% Norse in background...</span></p>

<br>
Once again thanks for lots of interesting information. I found two places
called "Entepoel" in the Netherlands, as well as onne Street
by that name. I could imagine that the Enddepoel/Entepoel families originated
from those places. I think the fact that there is at least one family called
"van Entepoel" further support this.The East-West matter is a little
difficult. Many of the -pohl/poel/pol names can be found further eastwards (in
Eastphalia, Mecklenburg, Pommerania, Prussia) but those are probably migrated
lowlanders.</span></p><p style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;"><br><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: black;"></span></p>
<p style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: black;">The name "Pohl" however can also
indicate that the original bearer came from Poland. This might cause a little
confusion in areas such as the Ruhrgebiet with many Polish immigrants during
the last centuries melted into a LL-population. I guess the same is true for
the US</span></p><p style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;"><br><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: black;"></span></p>
<p style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: black;">The Swanson-name was interesting ... Not a
variant of old Norse Svensson?</span></p>

And then there is the not uncommon surname Swanteson. How does it fit it, if at
all?</span></p>
