Language Surnames that end with "Stad"

Watching a bunch of Anne Bjørnstad shows and I'm on Beforiegners now. I've noticed alot of the crew have "Stad" at the end of their names. Google says it means "place". Is that true. So would she be "Bearplace"?

Lots of 'Dottirs" as well but that one I understand.

Any assistance with this would be greatly appreciated. I love her shows and reading all the interesting surnames between them. Thank you in advance for any assistance.

Tvedt is also a common ending of last names, it also means place

I'll look for that as well. I like watching Bjørnstad's shows so I after I finish this one, I'll probably do Billionaire Island again and look at their names. Thank you :)
