Erickson Family Crest

The surname "Erickson" is of Scandinavian origin and is derived from the given name "Erik" or "Eiríkr," which was a common name in medieval Scandinavia. "Erik" is believed to have originated from the Old Norse name "Eiríkr," which is composed of two elements: "ei" meaning "ever" or "always," and "ríkr" meaning "ruler" or "king." Therefore, "Erik" or "Eiríkr" can be interpreted as "eternal ruler" or "ever powerful." The suffix "-son" is a common patronymic element in Scandinavian surnames, indicating "son of." Thus, "Erickson" means "son of Erik" or "son of Eiríkr." It signifies that the bearer of the surname is a male descendant of someone named Erik or Eiríkr. The surname "Erickson" is primarily associated with individuals of Scandinavian or Nordic ancestry, particularly from countries like Sweden, Norway, and Denmark. Over time, many Scandinavian immigrants carried this surname to other parts of the world, such as the United States and Canada, as they settled in new lands. There are 80,000 people with the family name Erickson currently living in the United States.
