Etymology of Roters

What does the name Roters mean?

Since the number of Jewish families with the surname Roters far exceeds the actual number of Jewish people likely to have had 'red hair' during the period of surname adoption, this name appears to be an Ashkenazic, ornamental name. Ornamental surnames are names that are not necessarily related to the localities, occupations, nicknames or given names of the first people who used the name.
