    Name Meaning

    English (Somerset): apparently a habitational name from an unidentified place. In the absence of any evidence for a place called Ro(w)sewell or Ros(e)will, this is perhaps a hypercorrect variant of Rowsell (see Rossell ), on the analogy of placenames where pronunciation of -well is colloquially shortened to -el.
