Ofstad

Ofstad is a Norwegian surname. It is derived from the Old Norse elements "ófr," meaning "wolf," and "staðr," meaning "stead" or "farm." Thus, the name likely originated as a place name denoting a farm or homestead associated with wolves, either in terms of their presence in the area or a personal name element related to the animal. The name is relatively common in Norway and among Norwegian descendants worldwide. Variations in spelling may occur.
