The rouillard Surname
rouillard Name Meaning and History
French: diminutive of Rouille, apparently a nickname from
Old French rouiller ‘roll the eyes in anger’. However, in
medieval slang the term denoted a type of barrel or cask, and the
surname may have arisen, perhaps as a nickname or a metonymic
occupational name, from this sense. The surname Ross is
associated with Rouillard, perhaps arising out of a confusion with
rouille ‘rust’.
