Meaning:*
This name derives from the ancient Anglo-Scottish surname, probably of Norman-French origin. The origin of this name is still today quite uncertain. The theories include: 1) From the Welsh Brythonic “Rhos,” meaning “moor or moorland.” 2) From the Old High German “ros / hros,” meaning “horse.” 3) The name may be of Old English origin, from any of the various places called Ross in Herefordshire, Northumberland, or Ross's region in Northern Scotland, Roos in the East Riding of Yorkshire, and Roose in the county of Lancashire. Clan Ross is a Highland Scottish clan. The original chiefs of the clan were the original Earls of Ross. The first recorded chief of the Clan Ross was “Fearcher Mac an t' sagirt,” which in English meant “son of the priest,” alluding to his O'Beolan descent from the hereditary Abbots of Applecross.
