Example
According to this template:
Icelandic - names often have no family name, only patronym or matronym (type A)
Malay - names often have only given name and patronym, no family name (type A). Patronym is "grammatical particle + father's honorific + father's given name"
Arabic - can be type A or type B. Sometimes a patronym becomes a surname (but changes form from bin(t) to al) when a clan becomes famous. Patronym is "grammatical particle + father's given name"
Russian - generally with a family name (type B). Patronym is the genitive form of the father's given name, inflected for the child's gender.
Bulgarian - given name + patronym + family name all compulsory (type B). Same grammatical rule as Russian for forming a patronym.
Indian cultures - can be type A or type B. The patronym is directly copied from the father's name without modification.
