Anderson

Anderson is a gender-neutral name of Scandinavian, Scottish, English, and Greek origins, meaning “son of Anders” or “son of Andrew.” A clear-cut etymology, the name derives from the Greek Andreas, which translates to “man” or “manly.” A different take on the more classic Andrew, Anderson flourished in popularity likely due to the CNN news journalist, Anderson Cooper. The strapping name began as a last name, benefitting from the shared spotlight of celebrities like Gillian, Laurie, and Pamela. A strong and sturdy name that lends itself to multiple nicknames, Anderson is definitely a cool choice for your little one.
