The name Rozman is thought to be derived from the Slavic word "roz," which means "rose" or "pink." This suggests that the surname may have originally been given as a descriptive name, possibly referring to an individual with a rosy or pinkish complexion, or perhaps someone who cultivated roses.

In the 18th century, a prominent Austrian military officer named Franz Rozman (1720-1789) gained recognition for his service during the Seven Years' War.

Another individual of historical significance was Jozef Rozman, a Slovak philosopher and writer who lived from 1776 to 1842. He was known for his contributions to the Slovak national revival movement and his efforts in promoting the Slovak language and culture.

In the 19th century, a notable bearer of the Rozman surname was Janez Rozman, a Slovenian writer and poet who lived from 1825 to 1876. His works played a significant role in the development of Slovenian literature and the preservation of Slovenian cultural identity.
