Where this word comes from
From Middle Scots Rothersay, apparently from an Old Norse term ending in ey (“island”), like other place names ending in -ay. The town in New Brunswick may have been named after then–Prince of Wales Edward VII (1841–1910), who visited the area in 1860. The civil parish is named after the town.
