Ah! Thank you so much for the response. That helps me understand a bit better. I’ve asked some form of this question for awhile now, and you are the only one who knew something:-) I even wondered if -sson and -dottir could be in the various names of some siblings.

You’re welcome… Year, in Iceland families will will have siblings with Ivarsson and Ivarsdottir as the last names. There are other forms of patronyms and names derived from patronyms in cultures all over… In Russian the “middle” name is the father’s name, plus -vich The O’ in Irish names and Mc in Scottish names… Spanish names that end in -ez… Like Alvarez, Ferdnandez.. it’s a common naming system
