The name Rothwell has a long history, dating back to the Anglo-Saxon period in England. It was originally a locational surname, meaning that it was given to people who lived near a well that was known for its red water or near a place where roebucks were commonly found. Over time, the name became a hereditary surname that was passed down from generation to generation. Today, the name is still relatively uncommon, but it is occasionally used as a first name as well as a surname.
