Rose
English
Etymology
From a Norman name of Germanic origins, likely made up of hrod "fame" and heid "kind, sort, type", ultimately evolved from Proto-Germanic *hrōþiz. Introduced to England in the form Roese or Rohese. Later conflated with the vernacular word "rose", and associated with the flower names that first became popular in the end of the 19th century. Also a nickname for names beginning with Rose-/Rosa-.
- The surname may be matronymic, but more probably topographic from residence by rose bushes or the sign of a rose, or a nickname from rosy complexion.
