The history of the last name Roetcisoender

The surname ROETCISOENDER has its origins in the small village of Roetcisoen, nestled in the rolling hills of the Ardennes region of Belgium. This area, known for its lush forests and picturesque valleys, was home to a community of woodcutters and charcoal burners in the 13th century.

The name is derived from the Old Flemish words "roet" meaning soot, and "cisoen" which referred to a charcoal kiln or pit. The addition of the suffix "-der" signified an occupation or trade, indicating that the original bearers of the name were likely involved in the production of charcoal.

One of the earliest recorded instances of the name ROETCISOENDER can be found in the Walloon municipal records of the village of Stavelot, dated 1327. Here, a certain Johannes ROETCISOENDER is listed as a resident and charcoal maker.

As the centuries passed, the name underwent various spellings and variations, such as ROETCISOENDER, ROETCYSOENDER, and ROETZISOENDER, reflecting the regional dialects and evolving language of the region.
