Scandinavian. In Sweden it is spelled with two 's'. Andersson and means 'the son of Anders'. As 'Mac' and "Mc' denotes 'son of'. During the viking age the last names changed in every generation. If the fathers name was Anders Bengtsson, his fathers first name would have been Bengt, Anders Bengtsson's son would get his last name derived from his fathers first name and he would be known as Andersson' This got very complicated for the rulers to keep track of people for tax and soldier duty so at it was stopped at a certain point and everybody just kept and passed on the name they had then.
