Andrews (surname)

Andrews is a patronymic surname, and may refer to many people.

Found in England, Ireland and less commonly Scotland.

In England it has been concentrated in the past in Herefordshire and Shropshire.

In Ireland it is found largely in Dublin.

Although assumed by many to be a Scottish surname due to the name of that country's patron saint it is in fact rarely encountered, the surname usually being found in the form of Anderson or McAndrew.

This however does not mean the surname is not Scottish. Scottish use of the Andrews name can be traced to Caithness in the far north east of Scotland.
