Anson Surname Meaning
From Where Does The Surname Originate? meaning and history
This surname is derived from the name of an ancestor. 'the son of Anne'; v. Annis and Annott.
1767. Married — Isaac Anson and Judith Dean: St. George, Hanover Square.
Ann(e)’s Son: v. Ann(e.
Such names as An-son, Nelson, Bet-son, &c., have been regarded as a sort of metronymics, and therefore considered indicative of illegitimacy; but I think there is little doubt of the former part of these names being in many cases corruptions of masculine appellations. Anson is probably a contraction of Alanson.
The son of Ann, or the same as Hanson, the son of Hans or John—the "H" being dropped in pronunciation.
