What are common last names in Denmark?

Well, the most common last names in Denmark would be:

Jensen, Nielsen, Hansen, Pedersen, Andersen, Christensen, Larsen, Sørensen, Rasmussen, Jørgensen, Petersen, Madsen, Kristensen, Olsen, Thomsen, etc.

They tend to end with "sen", which in Danish means "son". So the first part of the name "Jens" is a normal name for a man, and then it is followed by "sen"/"son".
