Roske Family History

German (Röske) is partly of Sorbian origin, as indicated by the reference to Roeske. It represents a Germanized form, variant of Roschke, derived from the Sorbian names Rošk and Roška.

This surname can be traced back to a pet form of personal names beginning with Ro-, such as Rodoslav, which is confirmed by references to Rod and Roch.

Additionally, it reflects another variant of the name Roschke, which has its origin in the Sorbian names Rožk and Róžk.

Furthermore, the term serves as a nickname derived from diminutive forms of Lower Sorbian rog and Upper Sorbian róh, both of which mean 'horn.'
