Rosswel is English, Scottish in Origin.

Rosswel is a modern respelling of Roswell, an English surname and place-name from Old English hross (horse) + wella (spring, stream), yielding “horse’s spring” or “well by the horses.” The surname arose around settlements near a horse watering place; as a given name it followed the common early American habit of adopting surnames. The best-known place name is Roswell, New Mexico, which lends a contemporary sci‑fi sheen to the name.

As a forename, Roswell saw intermittent use in the United States from the late 1700s through the early 1900s - borne by figures such as Roswell P. Flower, governor of New York - before fading. Rosswel preserves the sound while streamlining the spelling; rarer forms include Rosswell, Roswel, and Rozwell. Nicknames and short forms include Ross, Roz, and Wells. The name carries a sturdy, pastoral meaning with a quietly traditional Anglo‑Saxon pedigree.
