Let's take a look at the word paternal for a second
which means of course the father's side of the family
so patronymic means a name derived from a male ancestor
take the surname olson for example "son-of-ole" which means ancestors heir
or even jorgenson "son-of-jorgen" which means literally the son of a farmer.
typically the sen/son surnames are of Scandinavian origins.
Hope this helped your queston!
