Subject: son vs sen

On the Rogaland bydelag I noticed the last names end in son.
Elsewhere they end in sen. What's the difference between the two? Of
my eight uncles in the US, 3 were born in Norway, one of them from
Norway spelled his last name son and the rest of the family was livid
about it. Before he died he changed it back to sen and peace was
restored in the family.
