Last name origins & meanings:
- English: patronymic from the personal name Andrew. This is
the usual southern English patronymic form, also found in Wales; the
Scottish and northern English form is Anderson. In North
America this name has absorbed numerous cases of the various European
cognates and their derivatives. (For forms, see Hanks and Hodges
1988.)
- This was a common name among the early settlers in New
England. Robert Andrews emigrated in 1635 from Norwich, England, to
Ipswich, MA. Even before 1635, one Thomas Andrews is recorded as being
established in Hingham. A certain William Andrews was a member of
John Davenport’s company, which sailed from Boston in 1638 to
found the New Haven colony.
