Mine means sheperd. Germans really loved the story of David from the bible, so they all named themselves shepherd. Them being germans though, could never agree on the proper spelling, so there's at least 5 different spellings. So now I have to spell my name everytime someone asks for it despite it being European.

Hello
-nen in surnames doesn't denote an adjective though, at least not in names like Jokinen. Names with -nen ending were originally Savonian and often referred to personal properties (like Korhonen, "korho" meaning deaf). When people started coming up with surnames in Western Finland they often created those by putting the -nen after nature words like in the case of Jokinen, Virtanen etc. but that wasn't how those kind of surnames functioned originally. Rather, that's how national romanticists with Swedish surnames or no surnames at all imagined proper Finnish names to be like.
