Rolle Surname Meaning
From Where Does The Surname Originate? meaning and history
This surname is derived from the name of an ancestor. Probably 'the son of Rowland,' from a nick. Rowl; v. Roll and Rowlinson.
John Routes, Somerset, 1 Edward III: Kirby's Quest.
Forms of the Old French Roul (mod. Raoul, which, however, really represents Ralph or Ralf), for Rolf, Rodolf, q.v.
Rolle is not nearly so common a surname in France as the deriv. Rollet.
Cp. Rowell (Anglo-French-Teut.)
The family of Lord Rolle rose upon the ruins of the monasteries in the XVI. century. The name may be local, but it seems more likely to be a modification of the Scandinavian Rollo, especially as we have the genitive form Rolles, as well as the local Rollesby, Rolleston, &c. Camden places it among Christian names.
See Roll. Hence the Barons Rolle.
