Last Name ANDREWS

Summary/Contribute


Meaning Son of Andrew, which signifies a brave man. This name was very popular in the 13th century. As the name of the patron saint and knightly champion of Scotland, as title of the primatial see, no wonder Scotch have tried to monopolize Andrew, and no wonder that Anderson has followed Scotch emigration till Canada and the United States were flooded with it. But Andrew was very popular in its day in England. In any case, as an apostolic name it was bound to be popular all over Europe.
