Henderson (surname)
Henderson is a surname of Scottish origin. The name is derived from patronymic form of the name '' Hendry'', which is a Scottish form of ''Henry''. In Scottish Gaelic it is rendered ''MacEanraig'' (masculine), and ''NicEanraig'' (feminine). The surname ''Henderson'' is borne by numerous unrelated families in Scotland. For example, the Hendersons of Fordell, in Fife, were the chief Lowland family of the name, Clan Henderson. The Hendersons of Glencoe, a sept of Clan Donald, derive their surname from the Gaelic ''MacEanruig''. The surname was unknown in England prior to the 17th century and is first mentioned in a marriage document between one of the Borders Hendersons and the daughter of a Carlisle merchant at Hexham.
