Due to the diaspora, it is also very common in other countries such as the Argentina, Australia, Austria, Brazil, Canada, Chile, France, Mexico, Paraguay, Peru, Switzerland, the United States and Uruguay. "Rossi" is the plural of Rosso (meaning red, in Italian), although it is argued the surname derives from another source.

It is also a Finnish surname, not connected with the Italian one.
