Nguồn gốc & Lịch sử

Scottish and English patronymic surname meaning 'son of Andrew', where Andrew derives from the Greek 'Andreas', from 'andrós' (genitive of 'anér'), meaning 'man' or 'manly'. St Andrew is the patron saint of Scotland, making Anderson one of the distinctively Scottish surnames — it is the seventh most common surname in Scotland. Its distribution in England is heaviest in the northern counties that had close historical ties with Scotland.
