Again your are wrong, my friend: Anderson is Andersen in Norway and Denmark. Like Hans (Christian) Andersen and his fairy tales of Denmark.
All the Swedish -son names thus are -sen names in Norway and Denmark.
After having emigrated to the US, however, quite often those names were "Americanized" in some way. Or adjusted to fit the community where they lived.
Swedish family names, incidentally just like a lot of Japanese family names, are to a large extent made up of compounds from the nature. That is unless they belong to the category -son.
But Batman now lives on Iceland :)
