ROOSEVELT : Dutch: habitational name either from a farm named Rozenveld (there is one in Zeeland) or from one named Ruiseveld (there is one in Brabant). Rozenfeld could be a compound of Middle Dutch rose ‘wild rose’ (or ‘poppy’?) + velt ‘open country’ or like Ruiseveld of Middle Dutch rusch ‘rush reed’ (roos- in field names) + velt thus ‘open land growing with rushes’. If the source is Ruiseveld then Roosevelt is a variant of the Flemish surname Van Ruyssevelt recorded as Roysevelt in 1646 and de Roosevelt in 1652.
