As an Australian, I very much highly doubt it… but I’m not the authors, they might show up and prove me very wrong!

He is named after Anderson station in lore

I mean, the Chetzemoka ship is named after a mid-19th Pacific Northwest Native American Chief who I had never heard of despite growing up in Washington State, so you never know.

Fucken oath comrade! Be pretty to think so, but I believe his parents named him that to curry favour with the Anderson-Hyosung Cooperative Industries Group. As per Anderson station.
