Titel: Understanding names

I read the link on names and read about names in your Swedish Roots but I still saw no explanation that mentioned a daughter adding sson to her fathers first name.
How common was that?
What would be the reason?
This really has nothing to do with finding someone or confirming identity. I am just curious since it seems to contradict the naming system as explained in what I read. My g-grandmother daughter of Adam Jonsson, went by Selma Adamsson ???
