The surname Belrose has its origins in France, dating back to the medieval period. It is thought to derive from the Old French words "bel" meaning beautiful and "rose" meaning rose, suggesting a connection to a place or region known for its rose gardens or rose cultivation.

One of the earliest recorded instances of the name Belrose can be found in a 13th-century document from the Normandy region of France, where a landowner named Gilles Belrose is mentioned. This suggests that the name may have originated in this region, which was known for its fertile soil and abundant rose cultivation.

In the 15th century, records show a Jean Belrose who was a respected vintner and landowner in the Burgundy region of France. His family's estate was renowned for its rose gardens, which may have contributed to the family's adoption of the surname.

During the 16th century, the Belrose name appears in several historical documents related to the French Wars of Religion. A notable figure was Pierre Belrose, a Huguenot military leader who fought alongside Henry of Navarre (later King Henry IV) in the Battle of Coutras in 1587.

In the 17th century, a Belrose family established themselves in the Languedoc region of southern France. One prominent member was Jacques Belrose (1620-1692), a renowned lawyer and judge who served in the Parlement of Toulouse.

As the Belrose name spread across France, it also found its way to other parts of Europe. In the 18th century, a German branch of the family emerged, with Johann Belrose (1745-1812) being a notable philosopher and academic based in Heidelberg.

Over the centuries, variations of the Belrose surname have included Bellrose, Bellerose, and Bellerose. While the name is not among the most common French surnames, it has left a lasting legacy in various regions of France and beyond, with its origins rooted in the symbolic beauty of the rose.
