Product Information

Within an astonishingly short space of time, Norman manners, customs and law were imposed on England – laying the basis for what subsequently became established ‘English’ custom and practice.

The name Anderson (known as MacAndrew in the Highlands) is derived from "Son of Andrew". It is believed that many Andersons took the name from St. Andrew, the patron saint of Scotland, and as such there is no definitive common clan ancestor. A large number of Andersons originated in Aberdeen and Elgin in the north west of the country, although the name has historically been found across Scotland. There is no way of identifying any Andersons who might have been directly involved in these forays, but a little gentle involvement in cattle rustling along the centuries would be in keeping with the times. Applecross Abbey was founded by St Malrubha in 673. This Abbot of Bangor was also a descendant of the Irish King Naill. Interestingly, the Applecross lands were inherited by a woman at one point. This was common Pictish practice. One colourful bearer of the name was John Anderson, born in Rosneath, Dunbartonshire in 1726 and who went on to hold the prestigious post of professor of natural philosophy – as the study of physics was then known – at Glasgow University.Born in Newcastle in 1582, Sir Henry Anderson was the prominent politician who supported the Royalist cause during the bitter English Civil War.

This means that flowing through the veins of many bearers of the name today may well be the blood of those Germanic tribes who invaded and settled in the south and east of the island of Britain from about the early fifth century. Yet another particularly accomplished bearer of the Anderson name was Elizabeth Garrett Anderson, whose many ‘firsts’ include the first Englishwoman to qualify as a physician and surgeon in Britain.
