Roshell is in Origin.

Roshell is a modern American respelling of Rochelle, a feminine name that ultimately traces to the French seaport La Rochelle. The place-name derives from Old French roche “rock” with the diminutive suffix -elle, yielding the sense “little rock.” The spelling with s likely reflects phonetic influence from Rachelle/Rachel and from Rose- names, giving Roshell a hybrid look while preserving Rochelle’s sound.

Used as a given name in English since the 19th century, Rochelle enjoyed mid-20th-century popularity; Roshell appears in late-20th-century records as a creative variant and remains uncommon. Close relatives and alternatives include Rochelle, Rochell, Roshelle, and Rachelle (the last tied etymologically to Rachel, “ewe,” rather than “rock”). Nicknames span Ro, Chelle, Shell, and Shelly. With its elegant French roots and contemporary styling, Roshell offers a name that combines a gentle surface with a steadfast, stone-related meaning.
