Anderson Family History
Anderson Genealogy & Family TreeAnderson is a Scottish/English name from Western Scotland and means son of Andrew or Anders. Roots of this name are also found in Scandinavia. It is the most common name in Sweden; the fifth most common name in Norway and Denmark; the ninth most common name in Scotland; the 13th most common name in the United States; and the 43rd most common name in the United Kingdom. Though the spelling Andersson is more common in Scandinavian countries, many emigrating families dropped the “s” once they arrived in America, giving higher frequency to the Anderson spelling. The family motto is “Stand sure.”
Other spellings include “Andison,” “Andersonne,” “Andersoun,” “Andirsoone,” “Andresoun,” “Androson,” “Andirston,” and “Andrewson.” Notable people with the surname include American writer Sherwood Anderson, American actress Gillian Anderson (The X-Files), American composer Leroy Anderson, Danish author Hans Christian Anderson, American filmmaker Wes Anderson (Moonrise Kingdom, The Royal Tenenbaums, Fantastic Mr. Fox), and Canadian actress/model Pamela Anderson (Baywatch). The first Anderson derivative on record was William Andreu in 1237. The first Anderson to come to the Americas was Jochem Anderson in New York in 1600.
