Iceland is (strongly?) patronymic. So this wouldn't be talking about descendants, like in other languages where the patronym is fossilized as a family name, I believe. Only direct father or mother.

Agreed, but it’s still a possibility - if a rare one. Sometimes people are given their mother’s surname, especially in cases where the father isn’t involved or there was no marriage
