A feminine given name, derived from Latin roots meaning 'rose'—occasionally used as a common noun for things with rose associations.
From Latin 'rosa' (rose) combined with the suffix '-alie' or '-alia,' a feminine ending. Popular in Romance languages and transferred to English as a personal name.
Personal names that come from flower words like Rosalie show how we've always turned beautiful things into beautiful names, and different cultures keep flower names alive even as they stop using the flowers for practical purposes.
