History

Rose was originally a Norman form of a German name Hrodheid, composed of the words Hrod ("fame") and Heid ("kind", "type"). It was originally spelled (by the Normans) Roese or Rohese.[1] It was used in England, Italy, and France throughout the Middle Ages[2], and its popularity increased during the 19th century while still regarded as being a flower name. The name of the flower has the etymology of Old English rōse from the Latin rosa; phonetically linked to the Greek rhódon, which is independent of the etymology of the surname Rose. Distinctions can sometimes be made between individuals who derive this given name after the surname and those who are named after the flower.[3]

Rhoda, as in Acts 12:12-15, is the Greek equivalent. Rosalia was the name of a 12th-century Sicilian saint. St. Rose of Lima was the first person born in the Americas to be canonized.
