Well aprox: what I have discussed then. Almost everything you write we have discussed before in this thread: Motala probably having mot- as prefix, that we do not know why people took different names in the past, that there are several different families of Molander from all around Sweden (and Finland) and much more. And off course ordinary people did not knew the meaning of andros but I do not claim that either.
A name can have a meaning when we analyze it today and still people who took that might not knew about it. We know about the tradition in Sweden, to add -ander to names, it origins from the Medieval era and -ander comes from andros. Later on people continued that tradition but off course everyone did not knew about the origins The ones in Motala for example did not invent the surname Molander they chose it, perhaps because it reminded of Motala. You are very picky on others trying to help Jörgen.
