Johanson is a Swedish surname and given name, derived from the Old Norse personal name Jónason, which means "son of John." It is also possible for Johanson to be an ornamental name, simply used as a given name rather than having a familial origin. The name has been traditionally more common in Sweden, but it can also be found in other Scandinavian countries and beyond.
"In 2008 alone, there were five babies named Johanson."
