Sigurðssons

Sigurðsson is a common Icelandic patronymic surname, meaning "son of Sigurður". Sigurður is the Icelandic form of the Old Norse name Sigurðr, which is composed of the elements "sigr" (victory) and "varðr" (guard). Due to Iceland's naming conventions, where surnames are typically patronymic or matronymic, Sigurðsson is prevalent across many unrelated families. The feminine form of the surname is Sigurðardóttir, meaning "daughter of Sigurður". Prominent individuals bearing the surname Sigurðsson include Jón Sigurðsson, a key figure in Iceland's 19th-century independence movement, and Einar Sigurðsson, a well-known Icelandic politician. The prevalence of the surname reflects the relatively small and interconnected nature of the Icelandic population and its traditional naming practices.
