Name Meaning

German: from a short form of any of several ancient Germanic personal names formed with hrōd ‘renown’ (see Rode ).

(Rüth): habitational name from a place so named near Euskirchen in Rhineland.

English: from Middle English reuth(e) ‘pity’, a nickname perhaps for a charitable person or for a pitiable one. The personal name Ruth was little used in England in the Middle Ages among non-Jews, and is unlikely to have had any influence on the surname.
