Roswell Origin and Meaning

The name Roswell is a boy's name.

Roswell is a masculine name with English origins, derived from an Old English surname that combines 'rose' (the flower) and 'well' (a spring or water source). The name gained some recognition in the United States after the alleged UFO incident in Roswell, New Mexico, in 1947, which added a mysterious dimension to its appeal. As a first name, Roswell has remained relatively uncommon, appealing to parents seeking distinctive names with historical roots. It conveys a sense of strength and uniqueness while maintaining its connection to natural elements. The name can be shortened to Ross, providing a more conventional nickname option.
