Óskarsson
Óskarsson is an Icelandic patronymic surname meaning "son of Óskar." It is formed from the masculine given name Óskar and the standard patronymic suffix -sson. In Icelandic naming practice, patronymics reflect the father's first name rather than a fixed family surname, so Óskarsson typically changes with each generation. The feminine form is Óskarsdóttir ("daughter of Óskar"). In modern usage, particularly outside Iceland or in contexts where fixed surnames are common, Óskarsson may be adopted as a surname that does not automatically change with generations, but this is less typical in Iceland.
