Rossell Origin and Meaning

The name Rossell is a boy's name.

Rossell is an uncommon masculine name that likely developed as a variant of Russell or as a surname-turned-first-name. Its origins connect to the Old French "rous" meaning "red-haired" or "ruddy," originally referring to someone with reddish coloring. The distinctive spelling with the double 's' and 'ell' ending gives it a more formal, somewhat aristocratic quality compared to Russell. Rossell has never achieved widespread popularity, remaining a rare choice throughout naming records. The name carries a dignified, somewhat scholarly impression while maintaining masculine strength. Its uncommon nature makes it appealing to parents seeking a name with traditional roots but a distinctive presentation.
