[Facts] It's a Danish last name...

I'm Danish and it means: "Son of Jens".

Jens is the Danish form of John, so I guess the English form would be Johnson.

I would never like it as a first name, since it's our, I believe, our most common last name. I think it's the #1 on our list, over most common last names and Hansen as #2. (Hansen = "Son of Hans".)
