Additional Information
Coined from James Anderson of Stobcross House: Old Anderston and Finnieston. There is haplography here, as the name reflects Anderson’s toun, rather than Ander’s toun. If understood as Anderson’s town then Baile Mac Anndra could be proposed, otherwise it would be better to keep as Anderston.
