Name Meaning

Dutch: nickname for someone with red hair, from Middle Dutch ro(e)de ‘red’.

English: topographic name for someone who lived by a village or town cross (Middle English rōde, roode, Old English rōd(e)).

English: topographic name for someone who lived by a woodland clearing, from an unrecorded Middle English rōd(e), rood, Old English rēod(e). This name would have been synonymous with Road (see Rhode 1) and the two names were therefore interchangeable, especially in Somerset and Devon.
