Question:albertson

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: albertson

Albertson
Patronymic from Albert, English in form, but only rarely found as a surname in England or Scotland. In many cases it is probably a respelling of Danish and Norwegian Albertsen, Swedish Albert(s)son, or a cognate in some other language

Variant spelling:
Albertsen
North German, Danish, and Norwegian: patronymic from the personal name Albert

Albert
French and English (Norman): of Germanic origin, composed of the elements "adal" noble + "berht" bright, famous. The Norman form displaced the Old English cognate ?"Aepelbeorht". The name is popular in a variety of forms in Western Europe, and has been traditional in a number of European princely families. Its great popularity in England in the 19th century was due largely to Queen Victoria's consort, Prince Albert of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha. In Ireland, it has been used as an Anglicized form of the male name "Ailbhe". Cognates: Scottish Gaelic: Ailbeart. Italian, Spanish: Alberto. German: Albrecht.

hope this helps.

Simply put - someone way back was the son of Albert!

No. 4 has it right!

"Albert", in the early Germanic dialects was often "Albrecht". "Albertson" obviously has more Scandinavian roots while plain ol' "Albert" is simply the modern and short form we have today. The English language does tend to do that to names.
