The best place to research names is NORDIC NAMES, the link to which is off to the right in blue. It's actually the first link. This is a great, truly great, site. It will give you the meaning, history, and distribution of the name. And, it's easy to use.

Go ahead and look up both of these names there.

No, but it is interchangeable with Mogensdatter

Thank you to both of you. Very helpful. I think there must have been a clerical error in the one record I was looking at because all the other records put her last name as Månsdotter but the one birth record showed her name as Magnusdotter. I wanted to make sure I wasn't miss understanding. Thanks again
