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

Cool, isn’t it? 😀 To add one more I liked hearing, I recall in “The Pillars of the Earth” series how people took their trades and skills as surnames. Example: in the story, there was a Tom Builder, and a Caris Wooler. In real world, I know surnames were often descriptive in this way, from around the Middle Ages.
