Robertsson Coat of Arms and Surname Origin

Robertsson is a familiar spelling of the Scottish name Robertson. The name is usually explained as “Son of Robert ("bright fame")”.

Arms associated with the name

A coat of arms belongs to a particular family line rather than to everyone named Robertsson, so the heraldry linked to Robertson is a starting point, not an automatic right.

Spelling and variants

The extra “s” in Robertsson is a spelling habit rather than a different name. Spellings drifted because names were written down by ear in parish books, tax rolls and passenger lists. The same family of names includes Robertsen.
