A is for Anders


Anders is a popular given name in my family file. Of the twenty instances, eleven are Swedish, seven are Norwegian, and two are American. From the websites I looked at, it appears that Anders is the Scandinavian form of Andreas/Andrew. Check out Behind the Surname for a bit more on the given name Anders.

  2. Thanks - it makes it easy to post and hopefully will keep me on track and help me share some of my families. Love the name Anastasia and we have it quite often in our family (both the Slovenian and the Irish).
