| <!--When adding names to the list, please include a reliable source that describes the person added as "Danish American" (or a source where the person describes themselves as such), in accordance with Misplaced Pages's ] policies. This does not mean any person with any kind of Danish ancestry. It does not mean any American of Danish descent, which is the definition of the word.

| The most popular Danish family names all end with "sen", meaning "son". That means, that for example "Jensen" is "son of Jens", "Poulsen" is "son of Poul". Denmark's most surnames are by order of popularity: Jensen, Nielsen, Hansen, Pedersen, Andersen, Christensen, Larsen, Sørensen, Rasmussen, Jørgensen, Petersen, Madsen, Kristensen, Olsen, Thomsen, Christiansen, Poulsen, Johansen, Knudsen and Mortensen. Descendents of Danish (or Norwegian) emigrants to the United States are likely to have similar names. These names originally served as ] but this function was abandoned in the early 19th century, and have since then been used as family names. | |||
