Where did the German Sander family come from? What is the German Sander family crest and coat of arms? When did the Sander family first arrive in the United States? Where did the various branches of the family go? What is the Sander family history?

The distinguished German surname Sander is of two possible origins. Firstly, the name may be derived from the personal name "Sanders," which is a diminutive of the popular Greek personal name "Alexander," meaning "protector." In this case, the surname would mean "son of Sanders." Alternatively, the name may be derived from the place name "Sand," the name of several towns in Germany. In this instance, the name would have been originally borne by someone hailing from one of these towns.
