I looked it up, it doesn't mean anything. Pretty much like his life, doesn't mean anything.

It's almost certainly a deformation of the Spanish surname, Rosete, in turn from French Rosette or Italian Rossetti (diminutive of rosa, i.e. "little rose"). I would guess it's a deliberate mis-spelling by whichever first generation Spanish immigrant came over to Louisiana, as it was fairly common to do this - new world, new family name.

Why did you turn this into a Matt thread? See? Derailment and obsession in every thread.

Matt is derived from French Mathieu, from the Latin Mattimus, from biblical Mathemat, related to the Arabic name Mahamat (also transliterated as Mohammad).

What "full name"? I just want to talk about röstis. They're delicious and full of essential carbohydrates.
