Carl Christoffer Gjörwell Sr.
Carl Christoffer Gjörwell (the elder) (born 10 February 1731 in Landskrona, died 26 August 1811 in Stockholm), was a Swedish journalist, a prolific editor of some twenty journals and a psalmist whose hymns were published in the Moravian hymnal ''Sions Nya Sånger'' ("New songs of Zion") and elsewhere. His name is alternatively rendered as Carl Christoffersson Gjörwell, Carl Christopher Gjörwell or Karl Kristofer Gjörwell.
Gjörwell studied at Lund University and at Germany's University of Greifswald before coming to Stockholm to become a librarian at the National Library of Sweden.
==Early life and education==
Gjörwell was an illegitimate son of lieutenant-colonel Christoffer Donatson Feif (b. 1694). Feif had been knighted by the new Queen Ulrika Eleonora in 1719 under the name ''Ehrensparre'' for his services in the Norwegian campaign of 1716-1718. He was the grandson of Scottish emigré merchant Donald Fyfe, who had set up business in Stockholm.〔Herman Hofberg, ''(Svenskt biografiskt handlexikon )'', 2nd ed., Vol. 1, Stockholm: 1906, Albert Bonniers Forlag, p. 393.〕
Enrolling at Lund University and still unacknowledged by Feif, he consulted with history professor Sven Lagerbring (1707–1787) about what name he should use. The professor replied: "It means little what name you choose. Do well (Swedish: ''Gjör well'') what you do, and you will have a good name." The young man liked the advice and, from those two words, devised his last name.〔
