Maybe this will help.
Joseph Stalin had a patronymic name Vissarionovich (Joseph Vissarionovich Stalin) his father's name was Vissarion.

There is goes:
Anna Sergeevna Kournikova (Her father's name was Sergey)
Vasili Grigoryevich Zaitsev (His father's name was Grigoriy)
Andrey Sergeevich Arshavin (His father's name was also Sergey)
