This is an Icelandic name. The last name is patronymic, not a family name; this person is referred to by the given name Magnús.

Magnús Einarsson (1092 – September 30, 1148) was an Icelandic Roman Catholic clergyman, who became the fourth bishop of Skálholt from 1134 to 1148. He served in the diocese of Skálholt.[1] According to Hungrvaka, he intended to build a monastery on Vestmannaeyjar, but died before he could.[2]
