Rosalind

Rosalind
Rosalind f
English: originally an old Germanic female name composed of the elements hros horse + lind weak, tender, soft, which was introduced to Britain by the Normans. In the Middle Ages it was reanalysed by folk etymology as if from Latin rosa linda ‘lovely rose’. Its popularity as a given name owes much to its use by Edmund Spenser for the character of a shepherdess in his pastoral poetry, and by Shakespeare as the name of the heroine in As You Like It (1599).
