Roewell is English in Origin.

Roewell is a modern English given name, most likely a creative respelling of the surname Rowell (pronounced ROH-well). Rowell itself is a habitational name from Rothwell in Northamptonshire and Yorkshire, built from Old English wella “spring, stream” plus an initial element variously explained as the personal name Hrotha or a term for a clearing (rod/roð). The sense is “spring by the clearing” or “Hrotha’s spring.” Despite the appearance of roe-, the name is not etymologically linked to the roe deer.

As a forename, Rowell appears sporadically in Britain and colonial America from the 18th–19th centuries via the surname-to-given-name pattern; Roewell emerges only very recently and remains rare and unisex. Close variants and cognates include Rowell, Rothwell, and the phonetic cousin Roswell (separate in origin, from Old English hros “horse” + wella). Short forms include Roe, Ro, and Wells.
