Rodborn Surname Meaning

From Where Does The Surname Originate? meaning and history

(English) belonging to Rodborne; or Dweller at 1 the Red Brook [Old English reód, reád, red + burne, burna, a brook] 2 the Reedy Brook [Old English hreód, a reed + burne, burna] Rodborne, also formerly called Redborn, Wilts, is about 13 miles from Rodborne Cheney in the same county. It is not easy to decide in every case which of the two places is meant in Wiltshire charters of A.-Saxon times, in which we find the variant spellings Redburna, Reódbuma, -e, Rodburne, and Hreódburna; but Rodborne Cheney seems usually to be the Anglo-Saxon Hreódburna.
