Origine et histoire
A topographic or habitational surname derived from the Old Norse 'lundr', meaning 'grove' or 'small wood', referring to a sacred grove or a cluster of trees near a settlement. In Norse religious practice, groves were considered sacred to the gods, and many Danish place names incorporate Lund as a component. The cathedral city of Lund in Skane (then part of Denmark) was for centuries the ecclesiastical capital of Scandinavia. Approximately 44,000 Danes carry this surname.
