Sanderson

A possible alternative to Anderson and a cool way to honor an Alexander, Sanderson has a slightly gentler sound and may appeal to those who also like Lysander, Sebastian, and Sullivan. With nicknames Sonny, Sander, Sandy, Sanders, and Sasha, it was given to just 8 boys in the US in a recent year.

Pronounced SAN-der-sun.

As of October 2026, Sanderson ranked #13553 in US births in 2025 SSA, peaked at #9685 in 2024.
