Description:	Paternal According to the "Historic Records of an Old Family" by Francis Asbury Roe, Rear Admiral, U.S. Navy, June 1890, the "Roe" name is of Norse origin. In the old Norse language of Norway, all names commencing with an R were preceeded by the letter H. "Roe" was spelled "Hroe", "Rane" was spelled "Hrane", and "Rolf" was spelled "Hrolf". In later times, the H was dropped to give the present day spellings. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Roe The name Roe in Ireland is often derived from the native Gaelic O'Ruaidh Sept of Counties Cork and Waterford, which was also anglicized as Ormond. The name translates from Gaelic as 'red'. Roe also sometimes exists as an abbreviation of McEnroe or as a variant of the English name Rowe.
