Pál, daughter of Daniel?
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
