Yes, or a further descendant of Daniel’s daughter

Like Johnson is “John’s son” or their descendants

Iceland is (strongly?) patronymic. So this wouldn’t be talking about descendants, like in other languages where the patronym is fossilized as a family name, I believe. Only direct father or mother.

Cute cat tho

Agreed, but it’s still a possibility - if a rare one. Sometimes people are given their mother’s surname, especially in cases where the father isn’t involved or there was no marriage
