Clan Story
Jackson is a patronymic surname ('son of Jack/Jaques,' ultimately from Hebrew Yochanan via John) of English origin that also appears in Scottish records from the 15th century onward. It is not associated with a distinct Highland clan structure or a Lord-Lyon-recognized chief.
The personal name spread in the 12th century as Crusaders returning from the Holy Land popularized 'Jack/Jaques'; it became a hereditary surname soon after. Scottish documentation includes Andrew Jacson, recorded as a burgess of Aberdeen in 1409.
