Re: Looking for Names which mean "Daughter Of"
in reply to a message by BINT
On Iceland all the cildren's surnames are named after their parents.. So in your case, you could be a bit progressive and use the concept to your given name.. That would mean that you took your father's name and added "dottir" to the end. In some cases it might work better than others. ;)

Why father's? Are all the Helgadóttir daughters of male Helgas, or can they be from female Helgas?
