Alternately, it may also derive from Roman roots in the Latin word "vigilia", meaning "a watchman" or "someone who keeps vigilant".

What is the nationality of the surname roszel?

This American surname Roszelle, I believe, is an Americanized form of French surname Roselle. Now, this surname Rosell is also of Spanish, Swedish, and Polish, but I think this surname Roszelle, also as Roszell, Roszel, is found way back in the 1700s in North America, probably a French Huguenot surname. This makes it unlikely that Roszelle/Roszel maybe of Polish, Swedish, German or Spanish in origin, but there maybe a few in the U.S though that could derive from them.
