The family name can also be of German origin; in German, das Ross, means " the steed " or " the horse ", derived from Gaelic meaning " Horse Lord " or " Lord of the Horse " due to the righteous bond between anyone with the surname Ross and their relations to horses specifically when paired with the traditional Irish name Aidan, or Aedan, Ayden, Aiden.
