bull
that is, if he's of German origin. In the Southern part of Denmark, there is a German-speaking minority. The German word "Stier" means bull.
"Stier" is also a Danish word, but it means "paths", so this explanation is less probable.

Stier is the plural of Sti, which means
1) a narrow roadway for foot, bicycle or equestrian use, or 2) an enclosure for small animals: svinesti = pigsty.
Currently there is ONE person in the Copenhagen phone book by that name.
