ArchivesThe surnames Roeg and Rossif.
After learning that actor Donald Sutherland named two of his sons after film directors, I was interested in finding out the meaning of those surnames. Donald's son Roeg was named after British director Nicolas Roeg, and son Rossif after French director Frédéric Rossif.
I am clueless about the origin of the Roeg surname, though I suspect it may be German (it doesn't sound exactly British or Celtic). As for Rossif: it sounds Arabic, but the director bearing this surname originally came from what used to be Yugoslavia but is now Montenegro.
I would like to know what the meaning and origin is of these two surnames; thank you very much for any information that you can give me. :)
