Surname Planterose - Meaning and Origin

Planterose: What does the surname Planterose mean?

The last name Planterose is a toponymic surname meaning "from Planterose." Planterose is the name of a village in the hills of northeastern Savoy, France, located in the department of Haute-Savoie. Its population is just over 2,200 people. The earliest known reference of the village dates back to 1295, when it was known as "Plante-Raous."

The name Planterose is a combination of two words: planter, meaning "to plant," and rosé, meaning "pink." Thus the literal translation of the surname suggests that either the original bearer of the name or their ancestral home were involved with the cultivation of pink flowers. Another meaning for Planterose is "rosy plains," suggesting a flat, rosy landscape.

Whatever its origins, Planterose is an unusual last name for those searching for their ancestors. Its rarity gives those who bear it a connection to a long shared history of the families who lived in that village so long ago. It is also proof of the strong emigration of accurate record keeping for centuries.

Planterose: Where does the name Planterose come from?

The last name Planterose is an uncommon family name, with fewer than 200 people bearing it in the United States. It is especially rare in the U.S., but is more common in Belgium, where there are more than 7,400 Planteroses. It is most commonly found in the provinces of Hainaut, West Flanders, and Liege.

In Belgium, Planterose is a patronymic name, — one derived from the father's given name — derived from the ancient Flemish personal name Plante. Later forms of the name are Plantureux (French-speaking Belgium) and Planteniers (Flemish-speaking Belgium).

Planterose is grouped within the top 100 of Belgian last names, and is believed to be of Norman origin. It was likely adopted by Belgian nobles following the Norman Conquest in 1066. It may also be related to the German surname Prante.

The Planterose surname is becoming increasingly uncommon today, as fewer people bear it in Belgium and the United States. It will likely become even rarer in the future, as the population shifts away from hereditary surnames.
