in reply to a message by Bjorn
do women in Iceland take their husband's last name after marriage? No comments on the tradition, just curious about the mechanics.
Would your mom, for example, have the option to be Björnsdóttir because she is married to your dad, although she is not the daughter of Björn. Also, how do you call the whole family? In the US the family with the last name of Gordon would be the Gordons, in Latin America they would have los Martinez, los Llanos, etc. Is there an Icelandic equivalent?
