Roth (surname)

Roth is an English, German, or Jewish origin surname. There are seven theories:

  1. The spilling of blood from the warrior class of ancient Germanic soldiers;
  2. Ethnic name for an Anglo-Saxon, derived from rot (meaning "red" before the 7th century), referencing red-haired people;
  3. Topographical name, derived from rod (meaning "wood"), meaning a dweller in such a location;
  4. Derivative from hroth (from the Proto-Germanic word for "fame"; related to hrod);
  5. Local name for 18th-century Ashkenazi refugees to Germany;
  6. Derivative from roe in the ancient Danish language to signify (of) a king;
  7. Of the red colour of clay, as in pottery (German).

For historic reasons, the Jewish people adopted various established names, many of which were common amongst non-Jewish people in their respective countries.

The first English-language historic record of the surname 'Roth' appeared in the United Kingdom in Colchester and Essex public records in 1346.[1]
