Thus, the name Harrison historically meant *the younger son of an estate* or *the younger son of a landowner*. The origin of the name traces back to the Anglo-Saxon period. It is an Anglo-Saxon borrowing that appeared in Britain. Over time, it was adopted into French, Latin, and other European languages, and eventually entered Russian.
