| | Johnson Coat of Arms |
 | | The name literally means "son of John," a given name which is derived from the Hebrew name "Johanan," meaning "Jehovah has favored." The name was extremely popular in the Middle Ages as a result of the numerous connections between the name John and the Christian Church. |
 | | Some of the first settlers of this name or some of its variants were: Alice Johnson, who settled in Virginia in 1635; as did Abraham Johnson in 1648; Benjamin Johnson, who immigrated to the Barbados in 1660; Thomas Johnson, who sailed to St. John's, Newfoundland in 1666. |
