The Icelandic Naming System is a unique method of naming individuals based on their parents' first names. Instead of using family surnames, children typically receive a name that combines their parent's first name with a suffix. For example, if a father is named Jón, his son might be named Jónsson (meaning "son of Jón"), while his daughter would be Jónsdóttir (meaning "daughter of Jón"). This system reflects Iceland's strong emphasis on family lineage and heritage. It is common for people to be identified by their first names rather than last names, which can lead to a more personal and informal approach to social interactions in Iceland.
