Rosengren Family History & Genealogy
Rosengren Last Name History & Origin
AddHistory
The story behind the name is the following;
Jacob Turesson (?-1571), b****** son of Ture Jönsson. Ture Jönsson's, in his marriage to Brita in Jernsten had in his family's coat-of-arms three roses. Being knighted by the king, he was then allowed to choose his own family coat-of-arms.
He chose a white, five pebbled rose with yellow stem on blue background, at the top guarded by two steel arms, holding a white rose.
The symbolism was pretty obvious when he adopted the name - Rosengren (a branch of the three Rose's family).
A, in my opinion, very logical choice.
That's the history of the family name Rosengren.
Name Origin
The word 'Rosengren' is a Swedish word. The ending, 'gren' means "Branch", i.e., a tree branch. It can also mean (as it does in English) A business branch, etc.
"Rosen", means "the Rose" (definitive form, singular).
So, a correct translation would therefore be 'the Rose's branch', or "Rose Branch/Branch of the Rose" (though the first translation would be considered the best transl.)
