Origin: Formed within English, by compounding. Etymons: rowan n.¹, tree n.

Etymology: < rowan n.¹ + tree n. Compare Faroese roynitræ, Swedish rönnträ (1640), Danish rønnetrae (19th cent. or earlier), and also (lit. ‘rowan-berry tree’) Swedish rönnbärsträ (1638 as rönnbärträ), Danish rønnebærtrae (already in early modern Danish).Earlier currency may be implied by the surname Rowntree (compare Robert Rowntre (1301)), unless early use of the name reflects a form in a Scandinavian language. With rowan-tree berry compare earlier rowan berry n. at rowan n.¹ Compounds 2 and rowan n.¹ 1. With rowan-tree cross compare the earlier place name Rowntriecorce, Scotland (1584, now lost), although probably this refers to a cross or crossroads near a rowan tree rather than an object made from the wood of a rowan tree.

Originally and chiefly English regional (northern) and Scottish.
