Rowe (surname)
Rowe is a common surname; it has also been used as the name for several places. It is of Norman origin, Rous or Le Roux', from the French rouge "red." It has strong links to Norfolk and Cornwall, where it remains a common surname to this day [1]. It first appeared in England in 1066 after the Norman Invasion, when lands were granted by the first Norman King William I to Turchil Le Roux and Alan Rufus. [2]
