The origin of the distinguished Andersson family can be traced to the historic Scandinavian country of Sweden. The surname Andersson is a patronymic derived from Anders, the Swedish equivalent of Greek Andreas. In Sweden, Anders had been one of the most common personal names for many centuries when the patronymics were converted into family names; thus explaining the large number of people bearing the surname Andersson.
