Namesake[1] Gute, Bäl, Gotland, Sweden

Names in Sweden can be very confusing: Children can be named after the father (Patronymic) so Petter could be also his father but he would named Petterson. Taking names after the farm or the Parish was also very common, There is a farm named Gute near Bäl on Gotland and there is even a Anders Petter Gutenberg, born in 1821 in Stenstugu, Bäl. When there are family names like Guthenberg patronymic names can be skipped

This mans father is Pauel GutenbergIn fact, it seems Pauel Gutenberg starts using the name between 1811 and 1814 judging from the names of his children, which fits well in time, this practice became popular during, and because of, the Napoleonic wars. But his father and his siblings are also listed with that name, so perhaps it's earlier, Church records will surely tell more.
