Johnson
Johnson is a surname of English origin. The name itself is a patronym of the given name John, literally meaning "son of John".

The name has been extremely popular in Europe since the Christian era as a result of it being given to St John the Baptist, St John the Evangelist and nearly one thousand other Christian saints...
