France
EnglandNoble surnames, such as Rosier, evoke images of the ancient homeland of the French people. The original bearer of the name Rosier, which is a local surname, once lived, held land, or was born in the beautiful region of Savoie. In France, hereditary surnames were adopted according to fairly general rules and during the late Middle Ages, names that were derived from localities became increasingly widespread. Local names originally denoted the proprietorship of the village or estate while names of larger areas usually indicated a former dweller or a very powerful, titled landholder. The Rosier family originally lived in the province of Savoie.
The surname Rosier was first found in Savoy (French: Savoie) in the Rhône-Alpes region of the French Alps, where this eminent family held a family seat since ancient times.
In 1368 the head of the Rossier family met with the Count of Geneva, their overlord, to render assistance and tidings. Jean-François Rossier was the councilor to the Duke of Savoie, and was charged by the Duke to represent him in the purchase of the Baronies of Ponain and Cerdon from Charles de La Chambre on the 10th of September in 1565. This same Jean-François Rossier was the Lord of Tresserve and later became the Master Auditor for the Treasury of Savoie on the 26th of February, 1580. Jean-François' name has been incorrectly associated with Roffier in the matter dealt with by the Magistrate of Savoie according to the records. From the original line of Savoie, this ancient family branched, expanded and prospered to become a very important family through the events of the times.
Antoine Desrosiers, born in 1619, worked as a judge in Trois-Rivières, Quebec and was married to Anne Le Neuf du Herisson. He passed away in 1691 and was buried at Champlain, Quebec on 9th August 1691. [1]
