The family was known by the name of Kirkegaard because they were the family living at the church farm (Kirkegaard; modern Danish Kirkegård). A family usually took on the name of a farm or a local geographical feature so as to distinguish themselves from other people in the community with the same patronymic. In the case of Iver Christensen and his family, the name Kirkegaard was chosen because they resided at the farm closest to the church and where the minister would change into his religious robes to conduct church services. Ministers in rural areas travelled among several churches. The Kirkegaard was sometimes called the Anexgaard (modern Danish Annexgård).
