Facts About
Roach
Roach is thought to be either topographical or locational. It could come from ‘les Roches’ in Normandy, France, and would have been used as a locational surname there, later being brought to Britain by invading Normans. Locational surnames were traditionally given to a newcomer in a town, where the townspeople assigned the name of the newcomer’s original residence as a surname to differentiate them. Alternatively it could be topographical, coming from the French word ‘roche’ meaning ‘rocky’ and would have been given to a person who lived by a rocky area. |
