Best Answer

The Rousey family name originated after the Normans, who invaded Britain from Normandy in 1066. The name was chosen at the time because one of the Rouseys had red hair which was picked as the basis of the family name in the newly formed Norman culture. The French for red was la rous. There are variants in spelling like Rouse and others. Some say that it came from a shortened Norman name of Rufus.

Since Judaism is a religion, there certainly could be members of the Jewish faith who also have the surname of Rousey.

Is the surname Clements Jewish?

There is no surname that is used only by Jews. There are many surnames that are used both by Jews and non-Jews. Therefore, any surname that is used by a Jewish family is Jewish, and any surname that is used by a non-Jewish family is not Jewish. So any surname can be both Jewish and non-Jewish at the same time.


Is the surname Freeze or Friese a Jewish surname?

There are almost no surnames that are uniquely Jewish. If an surname is or was used by a Jewish family, then it is Jewish. If the same surname is or was used by a non-Jewish family, then it is not Jewish. And both can be true at the same time. For example, Cohen is an Irish Catholic surname with no connection to Judaism, yet Cohen is also a Jewish surname related to claims of descent from the Jewish priesthood.
