The -sen ending indicates it's a patronymic. Something to keep in mind, 
though, is that (unless I'm mistaken) the "son of" ending would take the 
form of -son following the genetive case of the father's name during the 
period you're talking about. The -sen ending developed later in Scandinavian 
areas including Denmark (hence my RL surname). 

Could be wrong, in which case I'm certain somebody will correct me. :)
