In the US, a child most commonly takes on their father’s last name (patrilineal naming). Icelanders do this instead.
What is patronymic or matronymic naming?
A child’s last name is derived from the first name of the individual's father or mother, respectively. "-son" is added for sons, and "-dóttir" (meaning daughter) is added for daughters. For example, if a man's father is named Jón, his last name would be Jónsson, and his sister's would be Jónsdóttir. While patronymics are the most common, matronymics (using the mother's name) are also possible, and sometimes individuals choose to use both their parents' names.
