‘red’. As a Jewish surname it is also at least partly ornamental: its
frequency as a Jewish surname is disproportionate to the number of
Jews who, one may reasonably assume, were red-headed during the period
of surname adoption.German and English: topographic name

rod, Old English rod, roð.German:
from a short form of any of the various Germanic personal names with
