With regard to the last names in question, therefore, these are the cognominizations of the personal name of the ancestor. Additions provided by Giovanni Vezzelli ROSSOMANNO-In my opinion it is a compound of the Italian adjective ' red ' of Germanic origin: Old High German and modern German ' rot ' + Old High German ' man ', Gothic ' manna ', modern german Mann = man. If you want to see in this surname the Italian equivalent of the German Roßmann (pronounced Rossmann) then the first part certainly comes from the noun Roß = horse, Old High German ' (h) Ros ', germ. * Hersa who gave the English ' horse '. The name therefore designated those who had to do with horses: A groom, a Carter, a vettural, etc.
