Samúelssons

Samúelssons is a surname of Icelandic origin, meaning "son of Samúel". Samúel is the Icelandic form of the Hebrew name Samuel, which means "name of God" or "God has heard". The surname is patronymic, indicating lineage from an ancestor named Samúel. As with many Scandinavian surnames, it became fixed relatively late, with individuals adopting it as a permanent family name over time. The practice of using patronymics, where a child's surname is derived from their father's given name (e.g., Jónsson for "son of Jón"), is traditional in Iceland, though fixed surnames are now common. Individuals with the surname Samúelssons can be found in Iceland and among the Icelandic diaspora.
