What does Duell mean in Swedish ancestry?

Question:

What does Duell mean in Swedish ancestry?

We have an ancestor named Anna Carlotta Duell Larsdotter. Originally I thought this was one of her names, but I see it a lot as a fourth name when the families only have 3 names. So, it makes me wonder if this is some sort of title or something.

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: I admit that it's strange to see in a name. I went to a few very competent sources to figure out what it was doing there.

First, here's the translation from Swedish to English...and it's from a Swedish site:
Swedish entry word
duell [du'el:] duellen dueller noun
vapenkamp mellan tv㥠personer (figuratively, "debate or competition between two persons")

English translation
duel

Compounds
partiledarduell---debate between leaders of political parties

Next I went to the immigrant lexicon on the LDS Family History site. It's not there at all. So from a linguistic/documentation standpoint, it appears to legitimately just be "a name".

If you're still looking for more, you might try contacting a very Swedish college on the north side of Chicago called North Park University. Not only is a good part of the staff Swedish by heritage, but they share faculty with a university in Sweden. For example, the following is a link to the intern in the Center for Scandinavian Studies whose name is clearly Swedish... http://www.northpark.edu/home/index.cfm?...
