It is derived from the ancient Greek personal name Andreas, which means \"manly,\" \"masculine,\" or \"courageous.\" Due to Saint Andrew being the patron saint of Scotland, the first name became exceptionally prevalent throughout the British Isles following the early medieval period. The surname stabilized as a permanent hereditary designation between the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries, appearing in early official records such as the 1379 Poll Tax Returns of Yorkshire.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe symbolism of the Anderson coat of arms\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Shield Color:\u003c\/strong\u003e The silver or white background (argent) traditionally signifies peace, sincerity, and purity of purpose.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Chevron:\u003c\/strong\u003e The central black structural band (sable) represents a roof-rafter or ridge-beam.
