Archivessurname roatsey
I have an acquaintance with the last name of Roatsey. I have been curious about this name because it is so uncommon (as far as I know) in the U.S.
I've done some research on the name. My friend tells me that the name is Hungarian in origin. The closest that I come to anything similiar in Hungarian is the word rõtes which means auburn or rusty.
I'm curious to know the meaning and exact origin of the name if anyone can help me.
Thanks,
Leah.

Since you mention Hungaria, the Italian 'Rucci' may not be too far-fetched an origin for both Roatsey and Rootsey.
Does any one know the meaning and origin of 'Rucci'?

RUCCI, together with RUCCIO, RUCCIA, RUCCIONE, RUCCELLO,
could be an hypochoristic of first names like PETRUCCIO, CASTRUCCIO,
PIERUCCIO (a diminutive of Peter). However this surname is spread in Southern Italy: especially By BARI, Apulia region, By ROME, the regions of ABRUZZO and MOLISE and by NAPLES, Campania region.
Reading Google i had the impression that RUCCI and RUCCIO are mor popular in USA than in Italy.
This surname has not been studied too much yet.
