Rosco is a variant spelling of Roscoe, an English surname built from Old Norse elements generally read as "roe deer" and "wood" or "thicket" — together suggesting a "deer forest."

It has a rugged, outdoorsy ring, fitting for a pet who's happiest exploring the underbrush or bounding across an open field.
