Sanders is a pan-European surname with three primary origins. Firstly, it comes from the Greek Alexander, meaning the defender, taken by many Crusaders and their families after their return from the Holy Land. As an English name, it also comes from the village of Sanderstead in Surrey, first written as Sonderstede in the ninth century, meaning a house on the sandy land. Lastly, it can come from the Old German sand and er, denoting someone who worked with sand, whether for agriculture or construction.
