The history of the last name Emanuelson

The surname Emanuelson originated in Sweden during the late 17th century. It is a patronymic name, meaning "son of Emanuel". Emanuel is derived from the Hebrew name Immanu'el, which means "God is with us". The name became popular in Sweden after the Protestant Reformation.

One of the earliest recorded instances of the name Emanuelson can be found in the Swedish church records from the late 1600s, particularly in the regions of Småland and Östergötland. The name was often spelled variations such as Emanuelsson or Emanuelzon.

In the 18th century, the Emanuelson family was well-established in the town of Eksjö, located in the province of Småland. Notable members from this period include Johan Emanuelson (1712-1783), a merchant and local politician who served as a member of the town council.

During the 19th century, the name Emanuelson spread across Sweden as families migrated to different regions. One prominent figure was Carl Emanuelson (1813-1891), a Lutheran minister and educator who served as the headmaster of the prestigious Sigtuna School.

As Swedish immigrants began arriving in the United States in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, the name Emanuelson also took root in various American communities. One example is August Emanuelson (1854-1919), a Swedish-born farmer who settled in Minnesota and established a successful dairy operation.

Another notable individual with the surname Emanuelson was Sven Emanuelson (1890-1972), a Swedish architect who designed several landmark buildings in Stockholm, including the Stockholm Public Library and the Swedish Museum of Natural History. His work was influential in shaping the city's modernist architectural style.

While the name Emanuelson is not as common today as it once was in Sweden, it remains a part of the country's cultural heritage and can be traced back to its origins in the late 17th century.
