It comes from a small town in the backwoods territory of the Ukrainian Underground. The Family was widely known as The Edmund-son Clan- a violent like-sucking group of underworld figures. The founding clansman was known as notorious Edmund = his bastard sons all became known as The Sons of Edmondson's Sons- all being born of different maternal units out of wedlock during intermittent interludes of prostitution and other vices of bastardization and demoralizing behaviours.
sad, but true.

Edmondson is a patonymic surname. The surname is take from the father's personal nme i.e. the son of Edmond would asume the surname Edmondson.
The first recorded examples of the name do indeed herald from Scitland - Edinburgh to be exact.

Edmond or Edmund is a pretty uncommon name in Sweden, and actually came here from the UK. So sons of Edmond would be equally uncommon.
It probably is Scottish. -son names are not exclusive to Scandinavia, just more common here.

I'd say Scandinavian of some sort... Swedish maybe. It is that part of the world that adds "-son" at the end of names, like Leif Erikson, etc.

son of someone called Edmond.
Leif Erikson for example is Leif, the son of Erik the Red (Eirik Raude)

All I can find about it is that it is an English name, originating from East Anglia in the 9th Century.
