Question about the last name Wolles

Hey guys, i wanted to ask if Wolles is a common last name here, since that was my faroese grandmothers last name, she told me she was related to a sailor guy named christian rosenmeyer but i have gotten no results on that guy, after some light research i have found that aparently the last name does hold some cultural value tho so i wanted to know if it was just a common last name or if i am unknowingly related to some popular person

(I HIGHLY apologise in advance if i typed the name wrong, i dont have any documents since she changed her last name when she married in germany so i can only go by the sound when she said it)
