No, I just picked that name because Rasmus sounds like the kind of guy who can swing an axe, although Ragnar could whip me easily! My Danish family name was Christensen until they got a large farm and then became Vestergaard. Here in the USA, they spell it wrong: Westagard. It's not really a title, but it means Western Farm, so that meant my family had the largest farm in that area. There are Eastern Farms, Northern Farms, and Southern Farms, too, but Vestergaard seems to be more common a name from what I have seen.
