- A submission from North Carolina, U.S. says the name Roseland means "When residents of Norway were required to take a last name, it was common for those who lived on a farm to use the name of the farm. Originally spelled Rosseland, the farm was near Kvam in Norway. Norwegian genealogy research is complicated by name changes residents made if they moved to a different farm and changed their last name. Furthermore, if your dad was Sven your last name might be Svenson if male or Svensdatter if you were female. Some children were also named after their mother" and is of Norwegian origin.
