Vander Family History
Vander Name Meaning
North German (North Rhine-Westphalia): variant of Fander unexplained. — Note: It is likely that in the population figure published by the US Census Bureau (which dropped from 605 in the year 2000 to 399 in the year 2010) the Dutch and Flemish preposition van der ‘from/of the’ which forms the first part of surnames such as Vanderaa and Vanderbilt is in some instances counted as an independent surname. Compare Van 7.
