Hakansson was Americanized to Hokanson. The father of this family was Hakan Jonsson because his given name was Hakan and his father's given name was Jon, hence Hakan Jonsson (Jon's son). His children were then known by their given name plus their father's given name, hence Karl Hakansson and Gerda Hakansdotter.
