Where did the German Anderson family come from? What is the German Anderson family crest and coat of arms? When did the Anderson family first arrive in the United States? Where did the various branches of the family go? What is the Anderson family history?
Schleswig-Holstein, which is the northernmost state in western Germany, is the homeland of the proud surname Anderson. The name is derived from the personal name "Andreas" or "Andres," meaning "man" or "manly." German surnames developed at a time when Schleswig, as well as most of the other German provinces, were states of the Holy Roman Empire. At first people used only a single name, but as the population grew and people began to travel, they began to find it necessary to take on an additional name to differentiate themselves. Fairly general principles guided the development of hereditary surnames in Schleswig.
