Johnson is English and Scottish, a patronymic from the personal name John. As an American family name, Johnson has absorbed patronymics and many other derivatives of this name in continental European languages.
With the same and slightly different spellings (Johnsen, Jonson, etc.), the name is also found in the Scandanavian countries
The name is probably Scandinavian, possibly from Sweden. Before last names were used a person was distinguished by tying him or her to the father. In this case the person's father's name would have been John so the offspring was known as John's Son, or Johnson as in 'Harry Johnson.'
