Nguồn gốc & Lịch sử

English and Scottish patronymic surname meaning 'son of John', where John derives from the Hebrew 'Yohanan', meaning 'God is gracious'. The '-son' suffix is characteristic of Scandinavian and northern English naming traditions, carried to Britain by Viking settlers in the Danelaw regions of northern England. Johnson is the dominant spelling in England and Scotland, contrasted with the Welsh Jones.
