Släkthistoria för Swanson
Swanson Vad efternamn betyder
Americanized form of Swedish Norwegian Danish and North German Svensson and Norwegian and Danish Svensen or Svendsen cognates of Scottish (Caithness) and English: from the Middle English and Older Scots personal name Swan an Anglicized form of Old Norse Sveinn (from sveinn ‘lad’) + -son. In northern England Middle English Swanson was in fact an occasional variant of Swainson. In some cases the name may also arise from Middle English swan(e) swon(e) ‘swineherd peasant male servant’ (Old English swān) + -son but this is unlikely to be the usual origin. See Swan.
