Meanings

Rowan is an Irish given name and surname. Variants of the name include "Roan", Ruadhán", and "Ruadh". The name comes from the Irish surname "Ó Ruadháin". It is also an Arabic feminine name referring to a river in Paradise.

"mountain ash," 1804, from rowan-tree, rountree (1540s), northern English and Scottish, from a Scandinavian source (compare Old Norse reynir, Swedish Ronn "the rowan"), ultimately from PIE root *reudh- "red, ruddy," in reference to the berries. There were those in this neighbourhood, long after the beginning of the present century, who believed that a slip of rowan tree carried on their person dispelled glamour, and rendered nugatory all the powers of sorcery and witchcraft. [Alexander Laing, "Lindores Abbey and the Burgh of Newburgh," Edinburgh, 1876]
