Not a last name and that you hear very often down here.

"The last name "Eyanson" appears to be a variant of "Evans" or "Evenson", potentially of English or Scandinavian origin. It is also an Americanized form of the Norwegian surname "Evensen" and the Swedish surname "Evensson".

No, it's Irish. It used to be spelled I'anson in Ireland.

While some family history suggests an Irish origin for the Eyanson surname, particularly through a John Eyanson who emigrated from Dublin to Baltimore in 1742, the name is more commonly found in England and is linked to the name I'Anson. It's also considered an Americanized form of Norwegian and Swedish names. Therefore, while an Irish connection exists, it's not the primary origin.

Watching the Icelandic team in anything is always funny

All the guys are Someoneson and all the girls are Someonedottir. Neat cultural thing that will be a thing of the past and ruined by immigration soon enough though

ETA they may last a while longer than their euro brethren. Helps being an island in the middle of the North Atlantic

We have friends who are Eyansons, who had families emigrated from Ireland and England. They told us it was combo English and Scottish, but then the I'anson families emigrated to Ireland, then to US. Our friends did a family tree and have an Irish family crest in their house.

To be fair Ireland had plenty of Nordic "visitors" throughout its history.
