Rossetto Surname Meaning

From Where Does The Surname Originate? meaning and history

(Italian) One who had ruddy cheeks or red hair.

Dictionary of American Family Names (1956) by Elsdon Coles Smith

User-submitted Reference

Russo is a Sicilian name derived from the Vikings or Rus. Rus (pronounced roos) in Norse means 'he rows' or 'men who row'. The Rus entered the Mediterranean between 800-1000 AD and helped the Sicilians fight the Arab-Byzantine rulers. Two centuries later, under the Norman rule of Sicily, Riccardo, a descendant of King Roger II, was granted the land title of Sperlinga Castle. Riccardo took the surname Russo or Rosso and bestowed to the castle a coat of arms featuring Halley's comet against a red backdrop. To this day, Sicilians will refer to someone with that name Signor Rus.
