Sandalwood.
"The ancient perfume was made from oil extracted from saunders, a fragrant type of sandalwood tree found in India."
An English, Scottish, and occasionally Jewish patronymic surname derived from an old form of Alexander.
"The saunders family tree traces its roots back to a great-grandfather whose first name was the ancient variant Alexander."
The word saunders comes from Middle English and is likely a variation of the surname Saunders or a dialectal form related to it. Its usage traveled into modern English primarily through personal names rather than evolving from an earlier distinct meaning.
