In Old Low German, moist depressions were referred to as Ros (or Rotz, Roetz). The name Rostrup (Rosthorpe, Rostorp) is derived from this. Like Ekern, Rostrup was built as Eschdorf. The oldest mention of the village can be found in the Oldenburg document book in 1240. In 1428 there were eight farms recorded here, five belonged to the Count of Oldenburg and one farm to the Rastede monastery, two more were Junker farms. In 1474 the place was burned down by soldiers of Bishop Henry of Münster.
