Sigurðsson

Sigurðsson is an Icelandic patronymic surname meaning “son of Sigurður.” In Icelandic naming practice, this form indicates that a person’s father was named Sigurður, rather than signifying a fixed family surname.

The given name Sigurður comes from Old Norse Sigurðr, typically interpreted as a combination of elements meaning “victory” and “guardian” or “protector.” The surname suffix -sson literally means “son,” so Sigurðsson identifies paternal lineage rather than a permanent family name.

In Iceland, patronymics are traditionally used in everyday life and legal documents; as a result, Sigurðsson does not automatically imply a shared ancestry. The feminine equivalent is Sigurðsdóttir, meaning “daughter of Sigurður.” In non-Icelandic contexts or in diasporic communities, Sigurðsson is sometimes treated as a hereditary surname, and may appear in fixed family lines.

Notable people with the name have been prominent in various fields, particularly sports, politics, and the arts, reflecting its widespread use in Icelandic society. Because Sigurðsson is a common patronymic, there is no single lineage associated with the name.
