Rowett Family History
Rowett Name Meaning
English: from a medieval personal name composed of the Germanic
elements hrod ‘renown’ + wald ‘rule’, which was
introduced into England by Scandinavian settlers in the form
Róaldr, and again later by the Normans in the form
Ro(h)ald. This name has absorbed a much rarer one with the
second element hard ‘hardy’, ‘brave’, ‘strong’, which was
introduced into England by the Normans in the form Ro(h)ard. It
has also sometimes been used as a pet form of Rowe 2, itself
both a variant of Rolf and a short form of Rowland.
