The Name "Lindström"

It appears that Johan was born as Johan Johansson (after his father), and took the name Lindström some time between 1820 and 1840.

Between 1800 and 1900, Sweden was undergoing a transition from Patronymic names (e.g., Nils Andersson's son Pehr becomes Pehr Nilsson) to family names between 1800 and 1900. Some families apparently "froze" their most recent patronymic name, taking it as a family name; some combined nature and or topographical elements (e.g., linden tree + stream = Lindström); and others took place names. Many Swedish families began to take family names by the 1860s and Sweden finally passed a law prohibiting patronymic naming in 1901.
