it's pretty retarded. works like this, just using a standard polish name:
>igor smirnoffski (male)
>natalya smirnoffska (female)

I think it's when you talk about something belonging to the person, or an event related to the person, you add an a to their first and last names

Well that's the point of declension*
It happens in tonnes of languages.
Latin has it too.
An example from Croatian.
"Što je radio?"
"Udario je Ivana Babića"
"What did he do?"
"He beat up Ivan Babić"
An -a is added to the end of his name to show that he is the object of the action

Over here, some surnames start with the suffix Mc which is a shortned version of "mac" our word for son
for example the name McMahon would son of mahon, similar to Icelandic surnames
of course, you wouldn't call a woman Mc so women's names begin with the suffix Ní short for iníon uí (daughter of)
for example the famous news caster Sharon Ní Bheolain which I think in english would be "Boland"
