juttasson

Juttasson is a surname of Nordic origin that appears in Icelandic and other Nordic naming contexts. The form is characteristic of patronymic naming, where a name expresses “son of” a given name. The element Jutt- is typically understood as deriving from a given name such as Jutta or a regional variant, while the suffix -sson denotes “son.” In traditional Icelandic practice, patronymics are not fixed family names but indicate the father’s name, so Juttasson would historically signal that the bearer is the son of someone named Jutta or a closely related name, rather than establish a hereditary surname.

Usage and spelling vary. Juttasson is relatively uncommon, and in modern use some families may adopt it as a fixed surname, while others retain the traditional patronymic practice, in which the form would change from generation to generation. Spelling variants may occur in different Nordic languages or historical records, including forms such as Juttason or Jutasson, depending on orthographic conventions.

Geographically, the name has appeared in Icelandic records and among diaspora communities in North America and parts of Northern Europe. Because patronymics are fluid in origin and spelling, precise distribution can be uneven and often appears in genealogical or historical sources rather than as a widely recognized, stable surname.

Notable people with the name Juttasson are not widely documented in standard reference works. The name may appear in genealogical databases or fictional contexts, but it is not associated with a widely recognized public figure.
