Rose

Rose
Rose f
English: ostensibly from the name of the flower (Latin rosa). However, the name was in use throughout the Middle Ages, long before any of the other female names derived from flowers, which are generally of 19th-century origin. In part it may refer to the flower as a symbol of the Virgin Mary, but it seems likely that it also has a Germanic origin, probably as a short form of various female names with the first element hros horse or hrod fame. The Latinate form Rohesia is commonly found in documents of the Middle Ages. As well as being a name in its own right, it is currently used as a short form of ROSEMARY (SEE Rosemary) and, less often (because of their different pronunciation), of other names beginning Ros-, such as ROSALIND (SEE Rosalind) and ROSAMUND (SEE Rosamund).
Cognates: Spanish, Italian, and Latinate: Rosa. Irish Gaelic: Róis. Yiddish: Reise. Polish: Róża. Czech: Rüžena. Hungarian: Rózsa.
Pet form: English: Rosie.
