KNUTSEN
[KƏ•NÜT•SƏN]
noun
1. Knutsen Insurance: a
local, independent insur-
ance agency with offices in
both Astoria and Gearhart.
Founded in 1919 by Martin
Knutsen, Knutsen Insurance
has been doing business on
the North Coast for more
than 90 years and employs
about a dozen agents in each
of their offices focusing on
both personal and commer-
cial insurance through a
variety of large insurance
carriers.
2. Knutsen Stringed
Instruments: brand of Chris
J. Knutsen, a Norwegian
emigrant who first settled in
Port Townsend, Wash., and
made unique stringed instru-
ments around the turn of the
20th century, including harp
guitars, Hawaiian guitars
and mandolins. One of his
harp guitars is on display in
the music room of the Flavel

Origin
Knutsen is one of many
variations of the Scandina-
vian surname also spelled
as Knutson, Knudson,
Knudsen, etc. It follows the
Scandinavian tradition of
patronymic surnames and is
derived from the personal
name “Knud” and literally
mean’s “Knud’s son,” and
would refer to a parent or
ancestor. While the name
is found all over Scandina-
via, it is most common in
Norway.
“Ross Knutsen of Knut-
sen Insurance completed
a 30-week course, adding
to his skills in general and
in commercial insurance
specifically.
Knutsen finished Liberty
Mutual’s comprehensive
Accredited Adviser in Insur-
ance course in August. He
handles personal insurance
and completed the course to
help make the transition to
commercial insurance.”
— “Ross Knutsen adds to
insurance credentials,” Coast
River Business Journal, Jan.
7, 2015, www.dailyastorian.

“It is also a fact that Chris
changed his name from
Johan Christian Cammon
to Chris J. Knutsen in 1888
… Though Chris dropped
Cammon as his surname,
his choice of Knutsen, his
paternal grandfather’s pat-
ronymic, was still a family
name …
At the time Chris chose
to change his name, he was
now newly married to his
cousin, Anna Cammen, his
uncle Anton’s daughter.
For the next twelve years
they lived either with or
in close proximity to her
parents. Maybe it was just
too complicated to explain
that he was a nephew as well
as a son-in-law, and simpler
to take a new last name to
avoid questions about how
everyone could be called
Cammen and not be inces-
tuous.”
