Yes and no. It means Frosti’s daughter because her father’s name is Frosti (Frosti is conjugated to Frosta to mean Frosti’s). All Icelandic “last names” work like that: made from the father’s name and ‘dottir’ or ‘son’. The name Frosti comes from a dwarf in the Eddur and yes is derived from the Icelandic/Old Norse word frost.
Yeah, I’m familiar with Scandinavian naming conventions. I think it leads to some cool names, but also seems to make it slightly more difficult to ascertain family relations without tracing shit back generations.

Reminds me of biblical genealogies. “Jared who begot Enoch who begot Methuselah who begot Lamech who begot Noah” sort of deal
