The name "Saunders" is from Saxon origin in the British Isles. The word comes from the phrase, "belongs to Alexander." The shortened word, "Alexander's" pronounced without the "x" became "Alesanders's." Throughout the ages the word became Saunders, pronounced as "Sahnders" and finally written, Saunders. The family may have come from western Scotland, but is not a clan in the true sense of Scottish families. The family has no tartan or Scottish plaid colors. In the early feudal ages, smaller families such as the Saunders sought protection with the larger Scottish clans. The Saunders family aligned itself with both the McDonnel (McDonald) and McAllister families.
