If Brian were a Russian name, the patronym for you would be Brianovna.

As to why they do it? Most European languages did it. Think how many Johnsons, Davidsons etc there are in ENglish, also in the Scandinavian countries. Even in modern day Iceland, people's surnames are their patronyms: If I had a son his surname would be Georgeson, if I had a daughter her surname would be Georgedottir. So it is the same thing in Russian, only it is like a middle name instead of the surname.



So if my last name is Patterson I had a...Patrick somewhere as an ancestor?

An Icon of the Theotokos Mary (the Virgin Mary) particularly revered by the Romanov Family  is called Feodorovskiya, so there could be something to do with that. Also the name Theodore (Feodor) means Gift of God in Greek. (If you've seen My Big Fat Greek Wedding you will know that every word comes from Greek Wink!

And there is no Th sound in the Russian language, correct?

That's correct;  Russian doesn't have a "th" sound.
