This etymology suggests a geographical connection, possibly indicating a location characterized by lined areas or meadows. It encapsulates a sense of pastoral beauty and an affinity with nature, lending itself to a serene and picturesque identity.

      While the name Rowlea does not have extensive historical documentation, its components reflect a rich linguistic heritage in Old English.
