It's a bit odd that they refer to actual patronyms like Jónsdóttir and Ivanov as "signifying patronage" and original patronyms that now signify descent like Martinez and Gonzalez as patronymics. This makes me suspect the chart may blur the distinction in countries where a Slavic patronym is listed.
