What is your Patronymic?

A patronymic is a name derived from the father's name, often used to indicate lineage. For example, in some cultures, a child may take a form of the father's first name as their surname. In Iceland, for instance, if a father's name is Jón, his son might have the surname Jónsson, while his daughter would have Jónsdóttir. This naming convention highlights familial connections and heritage.
