Mine is from England and means 'Son of Robert'

>Recorded in a number of spelling forms including Rhodes, Roades, Rodes and the misread Rhodef, this is an English surname of great antiquity. Originally found chiefly in the counties of Yorkshire and Lancashire, it is of pre 7th century Anglo-Saxon origin. It may be either a topographical name for someone who lived by a clearing in woodland, from the Olde English "rod", meaning a clearing, or a locational name from any of the places named with this word. These include: Rhodes near Middleton in Lancashire; Rhodes (Hill), north of Ashton-under-Lyne; Rhodes (Bank) near Oldham; and Rhodes (Green), north of Wakefield in the West Riding of Yorkshire. Topographical features, whether natural or man-made, provided obvious and convenient means of identification in the small communities of the Middle Ages, and consequently gave rise to several surnames. Locational names were developed when former inhabitants of a place moved to another area, usually to seek work, and were best identified by the name of their birthplace. Early examples of the surname include: Alexander de la Rode of Norfolk in 1277; John atte Rode in Bedfordshire in 1294); and Robert del Rodes of Lancashire in 1332. Cecil Rhodes (1853 - 1902) was a British colonial financier and statesman in South Africa. As Prime Minister of the Cape Colony (1890 - 1896), he helped to extend British territory almost throughout Africa. The first recorded spelling of the family name is believed to be that of Hugh de Rodes. This was dated 1219, in the "Assize Court Rolls" of Yorkshire, during the reign of King Henry 111rd, 1216 - 1272. Throughout the centuries, surnames in every country have continued to "develop" often leading to astonishing variants of the original spelling.

>This is a surname of English and sometimes Scottish, medieval origins. It is a patronymic form of Roger, which itself is of Norman-French origin, but from a Germanic personal name originally "Rodger". Composed of the elements "hrod", meaning renown, and gari, a spear, it was introduced into England by the Normans after the Conquest of 1066. It reinforced the similar existing pre 7th century Anglo-Saxon name "Hrothgar", the earliest reference to which is in "Beowulf", the epic poem of the Dark Ages.

In England the name became very popular, as were its pet forms of Hodge and Dodge. The personal name was first recorded as "Rogerus" in the Domesday Book of 1086, whilst the surname itself is first recorded in the mid 13th Century (see below). Early examples of the surname recording include: William Rogger in the Subsidy Tax Rolls of the county of Sussex in 1296, whilst Henry Rogeres was recorded in the similar rolls, but for Worcestershire in 1327. Other early interesting recordings include Nathaniel Rogers (1598 - 1655), educated at Cambridge University in England, and his son John (1630 - 1684), who emigrated to the New England colony of Virginia in 1636. John Rogers became the president of Harvard University in 1682. The first recorded spelling of the family name is shown to be that of Richard Roger. This was dated 1263, in the "Archaeological Records" of the county of Kent, during the reign of King Henry 111 of England,1216 - 1272. Surnames became necessary when governments introduced personal taxation. In England this was sometimes known as Poll Tax. Throughout the centuries surnames in every country have continued to "develop", often leading to astonishing variants of the original spelling.

OP here, very nice website

My parents tell me its persian although it doesn't translate on google the same and it roughly means "he who does great deeds". Lets just say I don't live upto my name :3

It's almost exclusively in the US and we're all from the same ancestor's family. It's a Basque name that got corrupted when said ancestor moved to England before the New World.

It's just named after a village we were given by Duke William for helping him invade.

One of my ex-coworker's surname was ᕉᒥᓭᕆᖃᑖᓚᐅᕕᑰᓐᖐᖕ (Ruumisairiqataalauvikuunngiing). There is a meaning, I'm certain, but it comes from a language not similar to Inuinnaqtun nor Inuktitut, but in the same family. It was one so long-gone that her great-grandmother couldn't even speak it. However, despite the ability to know the language, she apparently knew word-for-word what it meant. She passed away before anyone could ask her. She probably told my ex-coworker at some point, but had since forgotten. The name has always intrigued me but, unfortunately, the meaning may be lost to time :/
