What's up with the name?
Allan
Allan is a common man's name in Denmark. In 2004 there was 18,370 people in Denmark called Allan.
The french are rather keen on writing it Alain, while English-speakers tend to get it to either Allen or Alan. Allan seems to be of celtic origin, and in English speaking countries it is used as a family-name.
Beaufour
Beaufour is a french family name, and not very common. The literal translation of it is: "beau" = handsome and "four" = oven. So I am a HandsomeOven :)
The story behind the name is, as far as I remember, that it started as Beaufou, which in old french meant "beautiful birch". Time added an 'r' to the end. Quite lucky since "fou" means fool in french. HandsomeFool...
There are a couple of places in Normandy in France that are called Beaufour.
There are no other than me named Beaufour in Denmark, so "Beaufour, Denmark" should identify me quite uniqely :) I've thought about trying to send myself a postcard adressed like that, to see if it would get to me. Or alternatively just adressed to my emailadress :)
Larsen
A very common family name in Denmark. In 2004 there were 129,662 called Larsen in Denmark.
Larsen historically means "Son of Lars", and in Denmark we have quite a lot of these family names: Madsen, Jensen, Hansen, Olsen, etc. Family names ending on "son" are commonly from Sweden, Norway, or Iceland.
