When Robert Snadon was born on 30 November 1860, in Clackmannan, Clackmannanshire, Scotland, United Kingdom, his father, Thomas Ritchie Snadan, was 23 and his mother, Janet Hunter, was 21. He lived in Alloa, Clackmannanshire, Scotland, United Kingdom for about 20 years.
English: habitational name from any of several places called Sandon (in Essex, Hertforshire, and Staffordshire), Sanden in Hungerford (Berkshire), or Sandown Park in Esher (Surrey). The placenames all derive from Old English sand ‘sand’ + dūn ‘hill’.
In some cases possibly also French: from an Old French oblique form of Sando, a personal name of ancient Germanic origin, based on the element sand ‘true, just’.
