Can you tell me the meaning/origin of the last name Gudmundsson? Its Icelandic, and i know that in Iceland, for your surname, you take your fathers first name, and add Sson (son) or Dottir (Daughter) to it. Please Help!

The male first name Gudmund is one of the most common Icelandic names from the 900s onwards. It also appears frequently in Norway after 1300.
It consists of Guð, 'God' plus Mundr, 'Protector'.
