Rosalie

Girl name · 121 babies recorded · 1974–2025

Rosalie: 121 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to girls, peaking at 14 births in 2023.

Derived from the Latin *rosa*, Rosalie means “rose” and carries the same floral elegance as the better-known Rosemary or Rosalind. Its softer, more melodic French form rose to prominence across Europe in the 18th and 19th centuries. The name is notably associated with the 1920s silent film star Rosalie “Rose” Rolanda, and more recently with the Canadian singer Rosalie, known for her folk-pop hits. While no major places bear the name directly, the shared root connects it to countless towns named Rosario or Rosal, found from Spain to the Philippines. A charming variant, Rosalia, enjoys particular popularity in Italy, while the name also appears as a sweet, lyrical choice in classic songs and literature, often evoking romance and delicate beauty.
