Etymology

* As an English, Scottish, French, Walloon, Danish, Jewish (Yiddish רויז (royz)), and German surname, all from the noun rose. Also adapted from foreign forms of the same meaning such as Hungarian Rózsa, Rozsa, Slovak Róža, Czech Roza, etc. Compare Larose. 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.
* Also as an English surname, from a Norman name of Germanic origins, likely made up of Proto-Germanic *hrod (“fame”) and *heid (“kind, sort, type”), ultimately evolved from *hrōþiz. Introduced to England in the form Roese or Rohese.
* As an English and Scottish surname, variant of Ross.
* As a Slovene surname, Americanized or Italianized from Rože, from a short form of Erazem (from Latin Erasmus), compare Rozman.
