the name means copper,yes
but there is supposed to be a legend connected with the name, I found this from a guy in Denmark who toild me his father knew the legend and would pass my email to him....I didn't hear back from him sadly.
so I am curious as to why copper would become a given name....There are no copper mines in Denmark...,,maybe a Viking brought home copper from a voyage and took that name as a nickname?Hope someone knows
