Anderson History

The name of ‘son of Andrew’ is widespread in Scotland in different forms.
In the Highlands it was rendered as MacAndrew, more commonly in the lowlands as Anderson. They share the same Gaelic derivation of ‘Gilleaindreas’ – literally a servant of St. Andrew, Scotland’s patron saint.
