The coast has caught the eyes of many admirers for its beauty and resilience to nature, and so too will your little Rossiter. This charming name puts a stylish spin on the well-known Ross, a Scottish and Gaelic name that might remind you of Ross Geller from Friends. Nicknames aside, Rossiter draws its origins back to Kent in England as a variant surname of Rochester. As an Anglo-Norman name, in due fashion, Rossiter sailed its way across to Ireland in the 12th century where it became Rosaitear. Wild and rugged in all its beauty, Rossiter means "headland" and "cape." Your little Rossiter will make every day feel like a sweet escape to the seaside!
