Is rosen a Jewish name? Rosenfeld?

Yes, Rosenfeld is a German Jew name.





It means the Rose Field and was the name of those who worked on such.





However, their actual Jewish surnames, which would have been based upon their Tribe, would be different. These names were used to hide their Jewish descent in a hostile Country where they lived, by the way.





Peace.

Is rosen a Jewish name? Rosenfeld?
Yes, they both sound like Jewish last-names.
Reply:Well, those are both German last names meaning Roses and Rose Field pretty much. They could be Jewish, because a lot of Jews that came to North America during and following the second world war did come from in and around Germany.
