Comments (Famous Bearer Only)

Roswitha was a gnome-like character in the 1979 German film, The Tin Drum.
The most notable bearer was Hrotsvitha of Gandersheim, 10th century dramatist and poet. She is considered by some to be the first person since antiquity to compose drama in the Latin West. Other possible variants of the name are Hrosvite, Hroswitha, Hroswithe, Rhotswitha, Roswit. One of her poems Theophilus (a "deal with the Devil" legend) considered to be the prototype for a future story about Faust.
There was some German movie about football and this reporter's wife wanted to name her first daughter Roswitha if the team lost.
