Johnson Family History

Johnson Genealogy & Family Tree

Johnson is an English from Lincolnshire, England, arriving in England with the Norman conquest in the 11th Century. It comes from the Latin Johannes, refers to the “son of John,” and means “Jehovah has favored” or “gift of God.” The given name John was very popular amongst Christians in particular due to figures John the Beloved and John the Baptist. It is the second most common surname in the United States and tenth most common in the United Kingdom. Roots for this name can also be found in Scotland, Ireland, Norway, and Sweden. The family motto is Nunquam non paratus, meaning “never unprepared.”

Other spellings include “Joneson,” “Jonson,” “Johnsson,” “Johnston,” and “Joynson.” Notable people with the surname include American President Andrew Johnson (17th President of the United States), American President Lyndon Johnson (36th President of the United States), American Olympian Michael Johnson (winner of the gold medal for sprinting), American basketball player Earvin “Magic” Johnson, and American actress Caryn Elaine Johnson (better known as Whoopi Goldberg). The first Johnson to come to America was Davy Johnson in Massachusetts in 1630.
