If one is to refer to a person with a single name, they will always use the person's given name. Main article: Naming conventions in Ethiopia and EritreaĮthiopians and Eritreans have no concept of family name and surname. In Iceland, family names are unusual Icelandic law favours the use of patronyms (and more recently, matronyms) over family names.
Other cultures which formerly used patronyms have switched to the more widespread style of passing the father's last name to the children (and wife) as their own.

The English form patronymic was borrowed through the mutual influence of French and Latin on English. Both Greek words had entered Latin, and, from Latin, French. Patronymic, first attested in English in 1612, has a more complex history. The form patronym, first attested in English in 1834, was borrowed into English from French patronyme, which had previously borrowed the word directly from Greek. These forms are attested in Hellenistic Greek as πατρώνυμος ( patrōnymos) and πατρωνυμικός ( patrōnymikos). In the form patronymic, this stands with the addition of the suffix -ικός ( -ikos), which was originally used to form adjectives with the sense ‘pertaining to’ (thus 'pertaining to the father's name').
The first part of the word patronym comes from Greek πατήρ patēr "father" ( GEN πατρός patros whence the combining form πατρο- patro-) the second part comes from Greek ὄνυμα onyma, a variant form of ὄνομα onoma "name".
