Last name Windland/Winland/Vinland

I have an ancestor named Mads Monsen/Mogensen, born 1728, from Fet, Akershus. His father's name is listed as "Mons Windland" on the parish record. For whatever reason, this doesn't sound like the typical Norwegian patronymic surname to me. I know that men often took a last name that signified where they were from, but I'm pretty sure "Windland/Wineland" was used to signify the New World, although I'm not sure if this makes any sense. If anybody could clarify, that would be wonderful! [View image]
