Ephesians 3:15: ἐξ οὗ πᾶσα πατριὰ ἐν οὐρανοῖς καὶ ἐπὶ γῆς ὀνομάζεται (NA 28)

from whom every family in heaven and on earth is named (ESV)

The ESV adds this footnote to the word family: Or from whom all fatherhood; the Greek word patria in verse 15 is closely related to the word for Father in verse 14

For this reason I bow my knees before the Father, from whom every family in heaven and on earth is named

For this reason I bow my knees before the Father, from whom all fatherhood in heaven and on earth is named

In this context, how should Ephesians 3:15 be understood?
