Thread: Is this a Russian surname?

To add suffix -ин in Russian is one of the ways to form possessive adjective from noun:
мама - mom
мамин - mom's

Is it the same in Swedish?

That could possibly mean ancestors of those with these surnames ending in "in" could have belonged to somebody who possessed them?
