Desserud
The Desserud family name comes from the family farmland, whose name dates back to at least 1617 (in the form of the Norse Dysßerud, Diserud by 1668, Desserud by 1723. Some time after a branch of the family moved to Canada, it further transformed to Desarud. The original meaning is not known, but is thought to come from the Old Norse word for “haystack.”
