you should be interested in Icelandic names...
they use 'son and dottir to distinguish male female offspring.
so Johan Jonson's father was Jon. His daughter is Grimsey Johansdottir, and so forth... most Icelanders can trace back to they Viking times via the Sagas.
and naming an icelander with an official icelandic name requires proof of 2 other icelanders who had it in history.

dam.....my wife's middle name is dottir, and I was puzzled with what it means, so it's "daugh-ter"
